FOR 45 exhilarating min utes at Simonside Holl last night South Shields possessed the revitalised energy of an amnesia victim whose long lost memory had suddenly returned . Shields get their memory back at least for the first half borough left back Stainton was blocked , but in the 35th sent off following a booking minute O'Donnell hammered for yet another wicked foul on in goal No. 2 when Leask substitute Alan Bains who had headed down a great pass replaced the injured Ken from Elwell's high through Oliver in the 54th minute . Suddenly they had all the answers ; suddenly they re , sembled the side that held current Fourth Dvision leaders Notts County to a draw in a pre - season friendly that prom ised so much for Simonside this season . In those first 45 minutes they cleverly and ruthlessly Carved a 3-0 lead against a Gamsborough Trinity team that had lost only one of its previous 14 matches . Trinity just weren't in it . When the final whistle sounded , a tense , nervy battle Mariners outfit trooped 3-2 winners , having managed their first Northern Premier League win since August 22 but very efforts of a splendid first half . ROUGHOUSE TACTICS The second half saw Shields lose their rhythm . But I wonder how much of that was due to Gainsborough's rough house tactics that seemed all they had to offer in the face of what was amounting to a beating . Young Oliver had a magnifi cent debut , despite some rough handling , and if he can recover from a sore hip he must hold his inside left posi tion in Saturday's FA Cup fourth qualifying round the aanst Blyth Spartans at Crott Park . When Oliver was led away a lot of Shields ' penetration and thrust left with him . But once again there was the bravery of stiker Bob O'Donnell . CUT EYE At half - time he had three stitches in a jagged cut above his right eye yet he played But the entire second half and only rarely ducked out of a heading duel . He grabbed two fine goals and but for his injury might well have com Shields hockey The second half was only six minutes old when Shields memory started to go again .
