Pre-Match Gathering
Group Huddle
Jon Kings first game as manager of South Shields ended in disappointment as his side went down 2-1 against Shildon at Filtrona Park on Saturday.
Sean Sweeney had the first opportunity of the game for the home side following a good through ball by Wightman. Sweeney was one on one with the keeper before unleashing a shot that was well saved by Molyneux in the Shildon goal.

Taking on allcomers
Shildon took the lead on 32 minutes when a long ball downfield was met by Gredziak, who although appearing offside, ran through to beat Jonny Ball in the Shields goal.
Shaping To Strike
And Shildon doubled their lead on 41 minutes when a free Kick downfield found Gredziak in the box who turned and laid the ball for Hughes to put the ball over the line.
Flying Tackle
The second half started slowly and it took the home side 20 minutes to create their first opportunity when Sean Sweeney struck the ball from 12 yards, but he was unable to get enough power on the ball.
Chapim Plays Twister
Shildon were to then have a goal disallowed on 70 minutes for a foul on Jonny Ball.
South Shields had loud claims for a penalty on 73 minutes for handball, but the referee waved the protests away.

I'll take it from here!
On 84 minutes, Jonny Wightman ran at the defence before unleashing a shot from 20 yards which was well saved by Molyneux.
A minute later, a free kick taken by Wightman found the head of Jamie Scope who directed a head goalwards which was again saved by Molyneux.
Dan Kirkup was moved up front to support Tony Burnell and he was to make an instant impression, turning and shooting on the half volley, but the giant defender couldn't get enough power behind his shot.
Substitute Yanis Galas then had the ball in the back of the net, but his goal was disallowed for offside.
Galas Tries His Luck
The Mariners did grab a goal in the dying seconds when Dan Kirkup slammed the ball home from close range after a cross from the left landed at his feet in the box.
