SHILDON took a wrong turning on their way to Padiham for their FA preliminary round tie– but Mark Hudson put them in the right direction in an excellent win.

The Railwaymen took over three and a half hours to reach Lancashire, because they took a wrong turn on the moors and didn’t find the ground until after 2pm.

Manager Gary Forrest said: “All our plans for our match preparation went out the window, and we feared the worst because the players had been so long on the bus.

“But they were excellent, and allowed Padiham only one shot.”

The only goal came when Bobby Moore was tripped in the area, and Mark Hudson tucked away the penalty.

Shildon could have had more, as Moore hit the post, and Ben wood missed two good chances. Padiham almost equalised when keeper Lewis Graham parried an effort, and defender Carl Jones somehow managed to stop the follow up attempt.

Marske had an excellent day out, winning 4-1 at Armthorpe in South Yorkshire.

Marske manager Carl Jarrett said: “It was very pleasing.

We put the game to bed after 18 minutes, and controlled the rest of the game.”

Marske settled straight away, and took the lead when Reece Kelly cut in from the left and fired in, then Jamie Owens ran through the defence and slotted home.

When a home defender put Kelly’s cross into his own net for the third, only 20 minutes had gone. Kelly scored the fourth after half time.

West Allotment won 1-0 at Knaresborough. The goal came from a penalty by Sean Reid, who also missed a second spot kick. Knaresborough had a man sent off before half time, but near the end Allotment’s Mark Fenwick was shown red.

Newcastle Benfield drew 0-0 draw with Evo-Stik League Kendal and replay tomorrow night.

Bishop Auckland played out an entertaining 4-4 draw with Jarrow Roofing.

Glen Lane got them off to a great start with a strike into the top corner, but Lewis Teasdale levelled when he dribbled through and fired in.

The Bishops defence was again embarrassed when Paul Gardiner made it 2-1 with a deflected shot, but Sean Tarling levelled, then Stuart Thompson made it 3-2 with a curler. Roofing equalised with a disputed penalty when Jonathan Wright went down, and Teasdale scored from the spot. Thompson fired the fourth, but Roofing levelled again with a header by Dan Kirkup.

Consett beat Whickham 2-0.

They took the lead with a penalty on 44 minutes through Michael Mackay after Calvin Smith was brought down, then Chris Moore got the second with a 25-yarder.

Dunston UTS easily beat Durham City 3-0 at the UTS stadium. Scott Fenwick fired Dunston into the lead from the edge of the box after nine minutes, then Andy Bulford made it 2-0 from a pass by Nicky Kane before half time.

Fenwick scored his second from a David Coulson assist.

Three ENL clubs went out.

Seaham Red Star almost gained a draw at Clitheroe after being three-down by 70 minutes and keeper Shaun Newbrook had been shown red, but goals by Sonny Andrews and David Palmer gave them hope.

Northallerton were beaten 3-0 at Bridlington, while Washington were thumped 7-0 at home by Lancaster City.

North Shields held Evo- Stik League Scarborough to a draw yesterday afternoon, Shields took the lead through Dean Walker from a corner, but Scarborough levelled through Ben Middleton on 70 minutes.

Ashington came from behind to win 2-1 at Albion Sports, Marc Walton scoring twice in the space of four minutes.
