SHILDON
v NORTON UNITED - 29 October 2014
A cool, clear night at Dean Street and a
crowd nearing a thousand for the replay, with the added incentive (particularly
for Shildon) of a home tie with Gateshead for the winner.
Shildon start best and quickly test the
Norton keeper; and continue to look most likely to score. Which makes a slip by
centre half Jones, as half time approaches, hard to take, allowing as it does
Norton centre forward Cropper to take advantage and shoot coolly into the net.
It is an undeserved lead, but in the second
half Norton give as good as they get. And just when a dangerous attack on the
Shildon goal appears to have been snuffed out the ball ricochets to Diskin who
from a very narrow angle lashes a volley into the net far a safe looking 2-0
lead.
Shildon refuse to lie down and with fifteen
minutes left centre forward Connor latches onto a through ball and places a
well-judged shot into the goal. This encourages a frantic finale, but the
chances created by Shildon are rather snatched at and fail to register.
Shildon played well but failed to make their
chances count, whereas their opponents converted two from not many more
created.
