13-Aug-2011 - Bedlington Terriers 4 South Shields 2

Bedlington opened the scoring in the 15th minute from a disputed free kick down the right hand side. The ball came in at speed and hit the far post and into the net.

Shields came back and it didn't take long for Alex Benjamin to register his first league goal for the club, getting his head onto the end of a Paul Talbot cross from the left wing and the ball looped over the Terriers keeper and into the net. A well taken goal.

On 21 minutes Shields came close to going ahead as they continued to push forward when Stephen Ramsey got an overhead kick on target, only for the Bedlington centre half to get in a clearing header just as the ball was about to cross the line.

Off the line!

Bedlington re-gained the lead in the 27th minutes when they broke speedily and some lightweight defending left their forward one on one with Jake Cunningham and the ball was driven home.

The Terriers held the 2-1 lead at half time.

Yanis Galas had made a good impression on his league debut for the Mariners and topped it off with a fine shot to bring the Mariners level again in the 47th minute and Galas then celebrated acrobatically.

Head over heels

Team mates join the celebrations

Shields continued to push forward but Bedlington broke rapidly and some slack marking in the Shields defence allowed the Terriers to take the lead for a third time in the 53rd minute.

Although Shields were still trying to make a game of it, the Terriers got a fouth goal in the last 10 minutes to put the result beyond doubt.

At full stretch
