Shildon AFC v Penrith AFC: FA Cup

It was a disappointing day at the office today for the Railwaymen, who suffered a 0-2 home defeat at the hands of Penrith, which saw them dumped out of the FA Cup at the Preliminary Round stage.

Shildon suffered a double sucker punch on the stroke of the interval as Penrith scored with the only chances they had created in the half.

First Matthew Reid scored with a volley from the edge of the box, just a minute before the half time whistle, and then Steven Rigg thundered home a header with the last move of the first half.

Shildon failed to create any chances in the second half as Penrith played a textbook defensive game to, in the end, comfortably see the game out.

Dean Street prepares for FA Cup football

Dean Street is readying itself for FA Cup football on Saturday with Penrith the visitors for a Preliminary Round tie.

The draw for this and the following round were made together, so Shildon know that, should they prevail, they will face Lancashire opposition in the next round.

The winner of Padiham FC, who won promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One North last season, or their near neighbours and league rivals, Clitheroe FC will make the journey north.

Let’s make sure it’s to Dean Street, so come along and give your support to the Railwaymen as they look to progress in the world’s most FAmous Cup.

Admission for this FA Cup tie is £7 adult and £5 concessions. Under 12s, as always, are free with an accompanying adult. Kick off is at 3pm.
