LAST MATCH

Carlton Town suffered a 2-1 defeat on home soil, as the ten men of North Shields returned to the North East with all three points from the Bill Stokeld Stadium.

Carlton took the lead through Dean Freeman’s back post header in the

42nd minute and North Shields were soon left a man light when JJ Chrisp received a straight red card. However, the home side sat deep in the second half and were punished when Dan Wilson headed home, and Callum Larmouth then finished off a good break with a deflected effort to complete the turnaround with a couple of minutes to play.

Kyle Tomlin almost rescued a point for Carlton in injury time, but his effort hit the crossbar.
