The Mariners , unlucky with the scoring chances although casual play resulted in some of them going astray were also on the wrong end of some refereeing decisions . They might have had two penalties for suspected hand ball , while in another incident , a shot from centre forward Jimmy Robson appeared to have crossed the line before the goalkeeper pulled it back , but their claims for a goal were ignored . Shields were altogether quicker than Wearside League club Wingate and after the first ten minutes , when both sides had settled down , it looked as though it would only be a matter of time before they nosed ahead and establish a substantial lead . Jim McFarlane , coming up for a corner , had the first genuine chance . A deep cross , put back into the goalmouth by Jimmy Compton left the No. 5 with only goalkeeper Swinburne 90 MINOR SOCCER SOUTH TYNE SENIOR LEAGUE Hebburn Rangers , Northum Marine 1 ; Corporation Club Royal 1 ; Catholic Club 1 , Utd 3 ; Simonside 2 , St. MINOR CUP REPLAY in Timex 2 , Persever FRIENDLY Urfa 3 , Bamburgh 3 .

Kenny Parker , below his best form , had a 15th minute header scopped out from under the bar and four minutes later a 20 yard shot from Ray Young screamed inches over the bar . Wingate , more dangerous on the quick break than in constructing moves from the back , had to wait until the 25th minute for their first chance . A corner on the right resulted in Hudson glancing a header towards the far post but Dick Patterson's outstretched hand palmed away the danger . On the half hour Shields had Wingate on the defensive again . A series of attacks led to Parker being put through on the left into the box but his shot sailed well over the bar . Some of the Shields supporters standing behind the Wingate goal were adamant that Robson's shot ten minutes before the interval had crossed the line after going through Swinburne's arms . Neither referee nor linesman signalled a goal and the half ended goalless . the net five minutes from the end through Gilmour , his header into the top corner giving Patterson no chance . Extra time might have been avoided as late as the 87th minute when Parker first time volley from Young cross hammered against the bar before the defence could scramble it away . The 1-1 score prevailed all through extra time , South Shields always remaining the superior side but unable to capitalise on the breaks continuing to come their way .
