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.

Chairman’s Statement on Covid-19 risk assessment at Dean Street

Chairman’s statement 

We have worked really hard to get our Club in a position to play games again at Dean Street with Covid plans being in place for the bar and the Clubhouse. We have invested in outside Portaloos as the Bar is closed on match days and now have an appointment system in place which is linked to a Track n Trace system in order to make your experience of Dean Street as safe as we possibly can 
 
With the increase in infections and the Governments recent announcement  we now all have to be extra vigilant 
 
I would like to thank everyone of our supporters who have embraced our policies and now I would ask you to abide by the Rule of 6. It’s really important that you do and we’ve all got to do our bit to ensure that football remains this season.
 
Therefore when you come to the ground can you ensure the following happens;
 
  • you don’t come in a group of larger than 6 people
  • you use our hand sanitiser
  • you adhere to social distancing guidelines
  • you DON’T use the Bar toilets
  • you DON’T congregate in numbers of more than 6 
People will be asked to leave the ground if they can’t follow the above procedures
 
I know it won’t come to that. It’s a small price to pay to keep on watching Shildon AFC
 
Look forward to your support and let’s hope we build on our fantastic performance we had in our last game at Dean Street.
 
Thanks,
David
