North Shields striker Craig Deighton fired his side into the second round of the Brooks Mileson Northern League cup tonight.
Deighton scored after 5 and 21 minutes to give Shields a 2-0 lead, with Ryan Readman replying.
Shields are now at home to Darlington RA in the next round. Manager Anthony Woodhouse said: "We should have had the game sewn up in the first half, and in the second half we took Brandon too lightly andthey punished us. We had further chances to wrap the game up, but didn't."
