Shildon v Penrith

Shildon top table at New Year
Shildon returned to the top of the league with a hard fought 1-0 win over Penrith at Dean Street.
Top marksman, Paul Connor scored the vital winner just 26 seconds into the second half, converting Ben Wood’s low cross.
Two excellent saves by Lewis Graham were complimented by Joshua Richardson’s saves in the opposite goal and Shildon survived a near miss at the end to hold out for an excellent, and important win on a heavy surface.
The win means it will be a Happy New Year for all at Shildon as they close out 2013 and begin 2014 at the top of the Northern League’s Division One.

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.
