The Mighty Shrimpers travelled to the North East whilst top of the form table, followed by an incredible 700+ fans, and promptly “did a Southend” by losing to the team bottom of the league.
First half and an unchanged team has Wes Fonguck chipping onto the bar and Collin making good stops, but Blues end the half on top regretting not hitting the target. Halfo 0-0.
Second half and Gates take the lead with a good run and shot on 52mins, Taylor hits the bar for Blues but Blues miss chances and it’s Gateshead on 71 and 76mins to wrap up the points as the Blues defence looks shaky. Moons scores on 85mins and Ralphy misses a chance late on but it’s a bad defeat for the boys and the brilliant away fans.
