His goal , North Shields ' third , came just after the interval , and was the result of brilliant opportunism . Running from the centre spot he accepted a through pass to beat the hitherto unbeaten Ashington offside trap and coolly shot past the advancing Charlton . The visitors ' two goals in the first half were rather fortunate , though none the less deserved . The first , after four minutes , as scored by full - back Cockburn , who lobbed in to the Ashington goalmouth , for Charlton to mishandle in the face of the sun . The second was scored by Johnson , a hard - working inside left , who snapped up a loose clearance . There was not a weak link in the North Shields side . They were quicker on the ball and stronger and far cooler in defence , where Dudgeon , though occasionally puzzled by Luke's unorthodoxy , dominated . Dawson could not be faulted , for the goal scored against him by Dent was shot through a crowd of players . 8 - The Evening News , Wednesday , March 29 , 1950 .
