A game that had everything From goals, bad refereeing and dives that would not have looked out of place in the Olympics.Gateshead started the game with crisp clean and fast passing to leave Hednesdford chasing the ball. In the 6th minute Gateshead took the lead through a Davie Southern free kick.
Hednesford got level after James Curtis slipped on the box to leave the Hednesford attack open to score.
Gateshead regained the lead with Captain Chris Hanson Scoring before half time.
After half time Gateshead started much the same as the start of the first, but a penalty awarded to Hednesford got the game level again.
Persistent diving from the Hednesford front line never let the game run as before and the referee not wanting to stamp it out.
Gateshead fell to a sucker punch in the dieing second of the match to loose a game they had dominated.
A mass brawl broke out and the referee lost all control of the match, both the referee and his lines man missed hand raised from both sets of players.
GUTTING!!!!!
