OLD SHILDON continued their blistering form at the summit of the top flight with an impressive win at home to Hunwick Joiners.

The win puts Shildon in a much stronger position at the top of Division One.
They took a first half lead through Craig Richardson, and he added a second after the break to double their lead.
Neil Robinson then missed a penalty for Shildon, but Martin Hedley made sure of the win with Shildon’s third.
Goalscorer Hedley admitted: “I would say the scoreline flattered them a bit – they missed a few chances, but I think overall we deserved to win the game. We’ve really come on in the last few weeks, we got a couple of new signings and it has really made a big difference for us.”
