Ten-nil to Shildon
A VERY special game between Durham Alliance League football team Shildon
Railway Football Club, and RMT took place last month, celebrating the 50th
anniversary of Shildon’s club formed in 1954 by employees of the British
Rail Engineering workshops which once thrived in the town. Despite the
closure of the plant in 1984 the club has managed to provide sports facilities
for the community to be able to continue playing competitive football.
Shildon soundly thrashed RMT by a whooping ten goals to nil.This was
not surprising, however, as the side is unbeaten for over 30 games, second
in the league and facing six semi-final cup fixtures.
For the opening half hour of the game RMT gave as good as they got,
playing some neat passing football.
Railway, however, scored a couple of goals and from then on overpowered
their visitors. Just before half time RMT had their best chance when midfield
playmaker Ali Gittins skipped past defenders and rifled in a terrific shot only
for Railway keeper Dave Howe to tip the ball over the bar.
After the interval Railway stepped up a gear in the icy cold weather and
rattled in more goals. RMT centre-half Robert Crow tried to in vain to stem
the flow but Railways’ teenage centre-forward Neil Robinson was on top
form, notching up five goals.
The score was, however, totally irrelevant. Railway players and supporters
appreciated RMT players travelling up to support this 50th anniversary
match.The game was also supported by RMT and NUM officials and by
RMT solicitors Thompsons.
Luckily there were no injuries so no sick pay has been paid out
