Sunday's match at Notts County was Shildon's biggest in 42 years and despite the result it proved to be a great day.
Although Shildon, the lowest ranked team to reach the 1st round this year, were massive underdogs, over 1,000 supporters made the trek to Nottingham to savour the occasion.
Notts County were 3-0 ahead after just 18 minutes, but Shildon battled back and within 16 minutes of the second half had clawed it back to 3-2 courtesy of a Jamie Middleton header and Garry Barnes penalty, awarded after David Bayles was tripped.
County ended 7-2 winners but Shildon did themselves proud. A day that will live long in the memory.
