Chairman’s Update – Covid-19

As you are all aware there have been new restrictions issued for parts of the North East of England with regard to Covid-19. Following previous guidance from the Durham County Football Association and our continuing wish to play football we will continue to fulfill fixtures at Dean Street – in line with the Governments guidelines. Therefore the scheduled tie in the FA Vase against Chester le Street will go ahead tomorrow (19/9/20) with the maximum number of spectators allowed being 300.

We have continued to work hard and improve the Covid-19 plans for the Club, bar, and Clubhouse taking into account changes in guidance as they happen. Portaloos continue to be available within the ground as the bar is closed on match days and entrance to the ground is only allowed to those who have previously applied for tickets. We will continue to use these applications as the basis to collect information to support track and trace.

Current advice states that “you should not attend amateur or professional sporting events as a spectator in the areas affected. If you do attend, you must remain socially distanced and groups of no more than 6”.

When you come to the ground can you ensure the following happens;

  • you MUST NOT socialise with other people outside of your own households or support bubble (a maximum of 6).

  • you use our hand sanitiser.

  • you adhere to social distancing guidelines

  • you DON’T use the Bar toilets.

Your help and understanding in complying with these restrictions will help us to ensure we can continue to host football games.

As and when guidance/restrictions change we well endeavor to keep you informed.

Many thanks for your support.

David Dent

Chairman

Newton Aycliffe 1 Shildon 1, Match Report by Adam Gill

Newton Aycliffe 1-1 Shildon: Match Report

10 man Shildon were held to a draw by Newton Aycliffe after Jordan Lavery was sent off at Moore Lane in the Ebac Northern League Division One.

David Palmer gave the away side the lead in the 50th minute before Lavery was sent off five minutes later for a lunging challenge.

Newton Aycliffe pulled level 20 minutes from time when Ben Reay curled home after beating Shildon keeper Shaun Newbrook to the ball.

Shildon were looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing defeat at Hebburn whilst Newton Aycliffe looked to pick up their first win.

The visitors started the brightest of the two, when Michael Sweet saw his effort tipped over by Adam Pickford just two minutes in.

No clear chances came for either side until the 43rd minute, when Andrei Ardelean saw his close range strike brilliantly tipped over the bar by Newbrook.

The Railwaymen took the lead when Palmer rose highest from Lavery’s corner to turn the ball into the Aycliffe net beyond Pickford.

Shildon were reduced to 10 just five minutes later, when Lavery was adjudged to have caught Reay on the leg with his studs.

The extra man showed for Aycliffe and they were level 15 minutes later, when Reay beat Newbrook to ball, before turning him and curling a great strike into the top right corner.

Despite being a man down Shildon kept pushing and almost regained their lead, when Billy Greulich-Smith found himself through on goal, however he could only send his lobbed effort wide.

Aycliffe failed to break Shildon down, meaning both sides had to settle for a point.

Shildon entertain Northallerton Town at Dean Street on Tuesday whilst Newton Aycliffe host Newcastle Benfield in their next match.
