Graham and Suggett were
outstanding in midfield for Shields with Jimmy McFar lane strong in defence .
Once again the Mariners came in for praise from the home club . Wallington offi cial Andy Cowan said : " It though they have drawn was a pleasure to receive the away friendlies against Roth - South Shields team . Their of man's Northern League ficials and players were ad teams Blyth Spartans and mirable ambassadors for Whitley Bay . your town . "
only just overcome 2-1 by In addition , Shields were Sunderland Reserves ' full : ba time professionals who , week later , massacred Alnw . ick Town 10-1- a result that reflected great credit on Shields ' performance against the Roker Park side .
On Saturday Shields set a cracking pace and were well on top for the first 20 minutes , although restricted to long range shots by a sound Wallington defence .
Billy Graham and Alan Suggett both went close for Shields , but on the half hour Wallington took the lead when a shot by Mather was deflected into the net by a Shields defender .

Wallington opened the second half probing for a second goal , but the Mari ners , in very heavy con
Shields completed the first half of their Alliance fixtures with this game , and they are still on schedule for the title plus their aim of scoring 100 Alliance goals this season .
STIFF RIVALRY
As far as the championship is concerned , they could yet face stiff rivalry from Mor peth a side to whom they lost 4-2 away but who have yet to come to Shields .
In their favour is the fact that Shields still have games against the bottom seven teams . They have yet to meet Stockton at home , Greenwells away , Throckley Welfare home , Newcastle University home and away , Bedlington CW home , Bede College home and Wallsend Athletic away , all games that should enhance their points and goals - for columns .
