Old Shildon and Thorns play out draw
Division One round-up

OLD SHILDON and Thorns battled out a 1-1 draw last week to spice up the championship title race already.

Shildon were dealt a hammer blow last week as they lost to Masons Arms 6-1.

But they held champions Thorns 1-1 last week thanks to a Darren Place strike. Simon Smurthwaite scored Thorns’ goal.

Elsewhere in Division One, a spirited fightback almost saw the North Briton claw their way back from a three-goal deficit, only to see it crumbled in the second half. Click here for the latest Game of the Week.
