South Shields gained their first away point of the season with a battling 2-2 draw at Bishop Auckland.

Barrie Smith ensures it shall not pass

The goals all came in the opening period, with the Mariners twice leading, only to be quickly pegged back on both occasions.

Jamie Scope gets the block in

Jamie Scope headed a David Southern free-kick over the bar and Stephen Ramsey went close before Ramsey opned the scoring on 12 minutes, seizing on a bad backpass to round the goalkeeper and score.

Kirkup gets head & shoulders clear

The lead lasted just five minutes, former Mariner Chris Bell crossing for Adam McClane to head home.

Bishop's defence scrambles clear

Shields came again, and Dan Kirkup hit a post before they took the lead again when a brilliant Barrie Smith run and cross ended with Alex Benjamin nodding down for Southern to smash home.

Pick that one out!

But straight from the restart, Bishops were back on level terms through Bell as the Shields defence dozed.

Barclay competes

The second half was a scrappy afair, with neither side able to create too many clear-cut chances, and the game petered out to a draw.
