A stunning hatrick from Shildon reserves skipper James Huntley put the home team on track for a 5 1 home win. The early part of the game was fairly even but the home team struck first through mom Huntley. Cameron Wilkinson and Stephen Clifford then scored 1 each to give the home team a 3 0 half time lead. The home team took control of the second half and a further 2 from mom Huntley put the home team 5 0 up. Birtley never gave up and Paul Carlton scored a consolation for the visitors. A special mention for 3 16 year olds Connor storey, James Blackmore and Robbie Anderson all made their mark on the game with storey and Blackmore hitting the woodwork and storey having a goal chalked off for offside, unfairly in my opinion.
