Gateshead 1 Kendal Town 1

Gateshead didn't make this match easy for them selves, with poor defending leading to long spells of Kendal pressure.

Only three names come out of the game with any respect, for tireless hard work and determination. These three player are:

Paul "THOMMO" Thompson
Worked tirelessly up front nodding great through balls on only to find no support from his midfield.

Steve Salvin
The only midfield player to have put in the effort tracking back to help out.

Davie Southern
Scored a great goal, and whipped in about 10 great balls into the box only to find THOMMO marked by three players every time.

Gatesheads goal came from a poor corner, but Davie southern latched onto the loose ball to power home a fantastic goal from outside the box.

In the second half Kendal got the leveller from a cross come shot that deceived everyone.
