Top of the league Shildon AFC suffered their first defeat of the season in the league after going down 1- 0 against 2nd place Morpeth Town on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August 2015, the goal coming with just one minute remaining.

Shildon could easily have been 3 up in the first 11 minutes. In the 2nd minute a Kyle Fryatt electrifying run found Lewis Wing whose 20 yarder hit the top of the bar with the keeper beaten. A minute later Micky Rae had a great chance with a one on one with the keeper but his shot was weak. On 11 minutes Gary Brown fired just wide.

For Morpeth, No 7 Sean Taylor had a brilliant chance but he shot over from 5 yards.

Half Time: Shildon AFC 0 Morpeth Town 0

As an evenly matched 1st half Morpeth looked far more dangerous in the 2nd and as the game went on they got stronger, with Shildon’s Gary Brown and Bobby Moore defending brilliantly.

After 84 minutes Bobby Moore cleared off the line and after more pressure from Morpeth, Gary Brown also headed off the line, but Ben Sayer’s right footer sealed the win for Town on 89 minutes.

Final Score: Shildon AFC 0 Morpeth Town 1

Subs: Greulich-Smith for Rae, Doninger for Fryatt 63, Hudson for Davis 71.

Bookings: None

Shildon cannot have any complaints as the best team won. They were the only side threatening in the 2nd half.

Shildon AFC go Top of the League

Shildon’s good start to the season continued on Wednesday 26th August 2015 when they beat Guisborough Town at Dean Street. The win takes the Railwaymen to top of the league, having played 4 and won 4, scoring 16 goals without conceding any.

Shildon went close a few times in the first half. On 9 minutes a Bobby Moore curling left foot shot hit the bar and Guisborough keeper captain Nicky Liversedge saved the follow up from Paul Connor.

On 24 minutes Paul Connor broke through and his great shot was pushed onto the bar by the keeper.

Shildon looked the most threatening, with Guisborough giving the ball away too easily.

Half Time: Shildon AFC 0 Guisborough Town 0

Early in the 2nd half Town’s Danny Earl nearly scored but his effort was cleared off the line by Shildon’s star man Gary Brown.

On 52 minutes last man Paul Connor was through but was brought down by Leon Carling just outside the area. Amazingly, he was only given a yellow card.

The stalemate was broken just after the hour when Matty Robson crossed to Paul Connor who fired home a left foot shot into the bottom right corner.

After the goal Town piled on the pressure but never really threatened Shildon’s defence. They had shots but not on target.

In the last minute Shildon’s Matty Robson’s 25 yarder hit the post.
