Spennymoor scored one of the fastest ever FA cup goals in their 3-2 away win at Bishop Auckland on Saturday.

Moors found the back of the net after just 13 seconds, but they still needed a goal from sub Mikey Roberts to put them into the next round at the expense of battling Bishops.

Moors were below their best, but Bishops couldn’t capitalise because of their defensive inadequacies. Before Saturday, Bishops had lost only one game all season, and they know that they can’t afford many more poor defensive performances like this if they are to challenge for honours.

Bishops manager David Bayles said; “We drummed into the defence before the game that we had to keep it tight for the first ten minutes. Maybe they thought I said ten seconds!

“It was a bad goal to give away, and to make matters worse, we gave them another one before half time.”

Moors have won all five of their away games in league and cup this season, and manager Jason Ainsley said; “It was a typical local derby. We got off to a flyer but didn’t kick on. Fair play to Bishop who I thought were excellent on the day and were always a threat. We’re delighted to get through to the next round despite being nowhere near our best. In previous years we would have lost that game. I was delighted that Mikey got the winner as I asked him for a goal and he delivered when it mattered.”

Bishops kicked off twice in the opening minute. They had only touched the ball three times before defender Ben Riding tried to play the ball into midfield, but instead he gave it to Moors striker Liam Henderson who ran through and slotted the ball under Bishops keeper Scott Pocklington.

Bishops showed their character to come back and equalise when the impressive Glen Lane crossed perfectly from the left for Danny Brunskill to get in front of two defenders and head past Moors keeper Alan McHugh at his near post.

But on 37 minutes Riding again dropped a clanger, when he lost possession to Henderson inside his own box, and the Moors forward again duly obliged.

Bishops started the second half well, and levelled with a peach of a 25 yard free kick by Lane into the top left corner.

But on 73 minutes Moors again benefitted from some hesitant defending, when sub Michael Roberts, who had only been on the field for three minutes, held off two challenges and slotted the ball past Pocklington. The keeper was later lucky to stay on the field for getting involved in a heated argument with referee Paul Keogh.

Shildon couldn’t quite pull off a giantkilling against Whitby Town at Dean Street, but they will have another chance on Wednesday night after a 1-1 draw.

Shildon had plenty of chances in the game, and they took the lead with a gem of a goal by Ben Wood, who hit a looping volley from 25 yards into the top corner of the net after the ball had been cleared out to him.

But Whitby levelled before half time, when Liam Sheppard sidestepped a challenge just inside the box and slotted the ball left footed into the bottom corner.

Shildon were on top in the second half and their best chance fell to Paul Connor, who rounded keeper Shane Bland, but Bland just managed to get back on his line in time and prevent Connor from scoring.

Lee Paul Scroggins also went close, while Chris Emms hit the post.

Manager Gary Forrest said; “We’re annoyed with ourselves, because we should have made sure with the chances we had. They only had one chance and scored from it. We’ll be going into the replay with no fear.”

Newcastle Benfield pulled off an excellent win, defeating Bridlington from the Northern Counties East League by 3-1.

They took the lead when the ball was crossed from the left for new signing Dan Taylor to score from a few yards. Paul Brayson fired the second from a Mark Convery pass, and then he hit the bar.

Bridlington pulled one back, but Brayson settled their nerves when he converted a late penalty awarded for a foul on him by Brid keeper Adam Nicholson.

Benfield manager Neil Saxton said; “I thought we thoroughly deserved to win. We could have had the game won by half time, but their keeper pulled off some good saves . We were all over the shop when we lost our centre half because of injury, but we recovered well. We want a home draw now, we want to give ourselves the best chance possible.”

Consett went out at EvoStik League Workington, but they weren’t too happy about a penalty decision didn’t go their way when the score was 1-0.

Workington took the lead with a superb goal from Adam Telfer, when he cut in from the left and hit a right foot shot into the top corner, but Consett were aggrieved a few minutes later when Josh Gray was felled on the edge of the area, but the advantage came to nothing, and Workington went straight up the other end and made it 2-0 through Kyle May.

Consett manager Kenny Lindoe said; “We were annoyed that we weren’t given either a penalty or a free kick, instead the ref played on and tried to give us an advantage. I thought we were the better footballing side in the game.”

Two Northern League teams, Dunston UTS and Marske, will have to replay tomorrow night after they drew 2-2 at Mount Pleasant.

Marske’s Jamie Owens missed a good chance to put his team into the lead, before Darren Hollingsworth scored with a 25 yarder into the top corner midway through the half. But Dunston replied with a header by Michael Dixon on 37 minutes, and then three minutes later, Scott Fenwick converted a penalty.

But in first half stoppage time, Owens scored from close range. Dunston had Dan Halliday dismissed in the second half for two yellows, and Owens had a shot cleared off the line.

Dunston UTS manager Billy Irwin said; “It was a very hard game, especially when we were down to ten men. The lads gave everything they had.”

Marske manager Carl Jarrett said; “I was really happy with the lads’ effort today and on chances we should have won the game.”

Ashington were robbed of a place in the next round by a last minute equaliser at home to Scarborough Athletic.

Glen Taylor fired Ashington into the lead early in the second half, but Jimmy Beadle headed the equaliser. Taylor put Ashington back into the lead from a Kyle Oliver cross on 68 minutes, but agonisingly for Ashington, Beadle levelled three minutes into stoppage time.

Ashington assistant manager Perry Briggs said; “I was delighted with the performance, but to concede a dubious penalty in the last minute was hard to take. Everyone put a shift in and deserved so much better.”

West Allotment had a day to forget, losing 5-0 at home to Lancaster City, who scored four times in the second half.

West Allotment manager Paul Stoneman said; “I’m disappointed that we caved in again after matching a team from a higher division for an hour. We need to learn and learn quickly.”

The draw for the second qualifying round will be made at lunchtime on Monday.
