A comfortable win for the Colliers yesterday against a very poor North Shields side.
Ashington started brightly and were on the wrong end of a controversial decision in the opening minutes when Dan maguire was dragged to the ground by his neck, with the lineman signalling for a penalty but the ref inexplicably blowing for a free kick to the visitors.
Ashington carried on undeterred and opened the scoring shortly after when Gascoigne met the ball at the far post and headed into the back of the net.
The Colliers doubled their lead when a beautiful through pass found new signing Wilson Kneeshaw and he put it past the keeper.
The Colliers added a third through Kneeshaw shortly after the second half started, before Spooner finished off the visitors with a delightful finish.
All in all Ashington played well and could’ve won by more. North Shields offered little and on this performance, they are going to struggle this season.
