Percy Main 1 North Shields 4. 31/07/2010 16:59
North Shields won the Gary Hull Memorial trophy for the 5th time in a game of two halves.
Percy Main went in one nil up at the break with a defensive mix-up gifting the home side a goal. Shields’ were the more attacking force but Percy Main remained dangerous on the break. Shields had numerous long range efforts that went close but to no avail.
The Robins’ were the dominant side in the second half as the superior fitness to the Northern League side shine through. Andy Bowman equalised tapping past the keeper after being played onside. James Luccock jinked through to knock the ball through the keeper’s legs and a further deflected shot from the outstanding James Luccock completed the scoring.
A good run out for the reds before next weekends home game with Newton Aycliffe.
Percy Main v North Shields (Friendly). 31/07/2010 12:39
The annual trip to Percy Main sees the running of the Gary Hull Memorial Trophy (Saturday 31st July, 3pm kick off).
Mark Rasmussen and Mo are struggling to make the game with knocks. Ross Atkinson and Femi Akinbolu are away but other than that Manager Anthony Woodhouse has a full squad to choose from.
Percy Main are returning to the top flight of the Northern Alliance in 2010/11 and former Shields’ man Chris Hunt should play for the team in Maroon.
This game will go to extra time and penalties if need be.

North Shields 1 Ashington 3. 28/07/2010 23:58
Shields’s concede 2 goals in the last 5 minutes as their late hoodoo continues against higher league opposition Ashington.
The first half was a quiet affair with neither team offering much. Ashington took the lead as the attacking forward was played in and held off Steven Robinson to eventually slot past keeper Robinson. A later Ashington effort clipped the top of the bar as both teams left the pitch.
The Robins came out by far the better team and deservedly drew level after a Paul Watson Thunderbolt was tapped in by Ross Atkinson via the woodwork. Ashington seemed to have the strength later on as a break by Ashington resulted in the ball being passed around the area and tapped in past Robinson. A lob in the final minute increased the arrears.
By no means a bad performance against a team that finished 6th in Northern League 1 last season with regulars Femi Akinbolu, Marty Graham, Andy Hay and Keith Douglas missing.
North Shields v Ashington (Friendly). 28/07/2010 13:55
Ashington make a rare appearance at the Daren Persson Stadium as last years Senior Cup Runners-Up are the opposition for the penultimate pre season friendly (Wednesday 28th July, 7.30pm kick off).
Femi Akinbolu is injured and so misses out. His brace against Cullercoats on Monday wasn’t enough to prevent the Robins from falling to a late collapse and being defeated. Ross Atkinson returns after missing out on Monday and new signing and former Ashington man Keith Douglas is unavailable. Andrew Wright and the newly signed up Steven Swinyard (in his 3rd spell at the club) are facing late fitness tests. Michael Robinson will return between the sticks to claim his spot back from outfield players Scott McDonald and Steven Swinyard!
Ashington finished in a creditable 6th place last season and will be looking to improve on this. There fixtures start with a home came against Norton & Stockton Ancients in 10 days.
With the season almost upon us tonight gives the team management a chance to pick their starting X1 to ensure the season starts off without a hitch.
North Shields 3 Culercoats 4 (Friendly) 27/07/2010 00:36
Northern Shields beat their Northern Alliance counterparts 3-0 with 70 minutes played at the Daren Persson Stadium as the Northern league promotion hopefuls fielded an experimental X1.
No distinguished goalkeeper played as outfield players Scott McDonald and Steven Swinyard played between the sticks each half.
JD Hall played a big part of the first half as he first waltzed through the defence to fire Shields into the lead and then hit a shot off the post as Femi chipped in the rebound.
After half time Femi beat the offside trap to chip over the keeper and it was left to Cullercoats to hit 4 (Four!) well taken deserved goals in the last 20 minutes against an ever changing Shields team. The first was a well taken volley, the second a close range header and the 3rd and 4th smart close range finishes.
Next up is Ashington at home on Wednesday.
