South Shields picked up their second victory of the season, running out 3-1 winners against Tow Law at Filtrona Park tonight.

In a game of few chances, it was to be the home side who opened the scoring on 27 minutes. David Southern created space down the right hand side before delivering a low dangerous ball across the face of goal that was met by Andrew Barclay in the middle to tap home past the keeper.

And Shields were to score again 10 minutes later. Andrew Barclay was brought down on the edge of the box following a dangerous run at the visitors defence. David Southern stepped up and hit a superb curling free kick from 20 yards that went low into the bottom left of the Tow Law goal.

Benjamin was to have a goal ruled out for offside just before the break as the Mariners went in at half time two goals to the good.

The early exchanges in the second half again created few chances.

On 65 minutes, Chapim unleashed a curling shot from the edge of the box that was wide of the target after some good build up play from Gary Steadmans side.

Both teams were to pick up the pace in the final twenty minutes.

South Shields grabbed their third goal of the night on 70 minutes after a long kick downfield by keeper Jonny Ball, Stephen Ramsey won a brave header that played in leading scorer Alex Benjmain, who unleashed a stinging drive into the top of the visitors net form 12 yards.

Five minutes later, Tow Law were to reduce the advantage, Scott scoring low into the Shields net with a softly taken header.

Tow Law were to put the Shields defence under pressure late on but were unable to get a second goal.

Gary Steadman will have plenty of positives to take out of this game, including a strong debut for new centre half Jamie Scope, and he will hope his side continue their good run when they visit Bishop Auckland on Saturday.
