Durham Challenge Cup draw

South Shields have been drawn to travel to Chester-le-Street Town in the first round of the Durham Challenge Cup.

The Mariners defeated Crook Town 5-0 on Wednesday in the preliminary round at Mariners Park.

Jon King’s side now face a tough trip to Moor Park in a tie which is expected to be played on Tuesday, October 27 or the following day.

That means Shields face two games at Chester-le-Street in as many weeks.
