Gateshead 6 Selby Town 1

If it was boxing it would have been stopped!!

Gateshead's goals kept coming in this match, all 6 would not have out of place in the Premiership.

In front of a passionate crowd Gateshead never got out of second gear it has to be said. The Northern East Counties League opposition couldn't handle the Heeds passing and speed in midfield, which led to the Selby defence to crumble.

The 6 goals were scored by:

Davie Southern 2x
Graeme Armstong
Craig Baxter
Ian Robson
and Captin Marvel Steve Bowey (pictured)















Its easy to get carried away when the Heed are playing so well, but you cant help but see there is more to come from this Gateshead side.
Ian Bogie and Jeff Wrightson have worked wonders over the summer crafting a well oiled machine to take the UniBond and Cups by storm.

Now Gateshead await to see who they draw in the next round of the FA Cup Qualifiers.
