Gurgen This season Kenny has played in eleven Alliance and Cup matches and has scored in ten of them . All told he has scored 14 goals in those eleven matches . He has been an ever present in the club's nine Alliance games for a total of 12 goals . scoring in every one of them Their 6-2 second round away win over Stanley shocked a few of the critics and Middlesbrough are expecting a hard game . Boro apparently , have a powerful back four who are giving virtually nothing away , while they have one out standing player in attack . They beat Lambton and Hetton 2-1 in the last round , yet two goals was all their reward for spending most of the game in the opposition's goalmouth . The Shields team will be selected from the following 17 players : Gibbons , McCord , Forth , Watson , Reay , Green ( Boldon ) , Hamilton , Thompson , Pude ( Redwell ) , Black ( Hedworth Field ) , Cott , Scott , Carrol , Pollard , Docksford ( Brinkburn ) , Pyke ( Harton ) , Jarvis ( Mortimer ) , Tyrie ( Cleadon ) .

Shields , the only Alliance side with an unbeaten record this season , should extend their run at the expense of Wallsend . have strung Shields together seven successive Alliance wins , and while they are in their customary position at the head of the table , they've got close company in Percy Main . Both have 16 points , but Shields ' haul has come from one less than nine games Main . All the evidence , despite the absence of Parker , points to a comfortable win for Shields against a Wallsend side three places from the foot of the table with just one win to cheer them from nine games . They have lost goals seven and their columns read 17-28 . However , they certainly don't lack spirit . Last week 3-0 down to they Morpeth at half time but put in a storming second hals in which they scored three times , but Morpeth edged home 5-3 . Morpeth are not the team they were , but Wallsend's display was one that suggests that they won't come to Shields like lambs for the slaughter . were - |
