South Shields 2 - 0 Morpeth Town
South Shields came out on top in a North East Derby. A report from the South Shield website states: "Nathan Lowe’s moment of supreme quality and a fine finish from Sam Hodgson settled a tense North East derby as South Shields returned to winning ways with a deserved victory over Morpeth Town at 1st Cloud Arena.
Lowe curled a terrific effort into the top corner just short of the hour mark as Shields’ domination of the ball was rewarded with the opening goal.
Hodgson stepped off the bench to seal the three points with a perfectly placed shot which ended Morpeth’s resistance and delivered the Mariners a vital three points.
