Notes
Mapson saved a Livingstone penalty with the score at 4-1; Neilson then blazed a second penalty over the bar minutes later with the score still 4-1; McDermott then had to go off due to the injury picked up in the foul leading to the second penalty. Gateshead providing a superb example of how not to get back into a game when given the chance.
