Penrith played host to Shildon at the Frenchfields Stadium. The Bonny Blues of Penrith went down 3-1 to the visitors from County Durham. After a relatively uneventful first half the Cumbrian side opened the scoring early in the second period. However, they were undone by 3 goals from Shildon as they completed their not entirely ideal preparations for the visit to Gateshead on Saturday.

Dunston made the trip to Guisborough for their Northern League match. They returned to Gateshead with all three points thanks to an own goal in the first half and a second half counter. Between these strikes Guisborough equalised. Dunston hung on to record their first Northern League win of the season. Final score Guisborough 1 Dunston UTS 2. A moral boosting victory for Dunston ahead of the big one.

As the pic above shows it could have been 3-1 but this phantom goal was correctly disallowed. Who needs goal line technology when you have eagle-eyed fans with a mobile phone in their hands!
So, attention turns to the match on Saturday. Who will emerge victorious to take on Skelmersdale United in the first qualifying round on the 3rd September?
