Gateshead picked up a point in their battle for Blue Square Premier survival - but were disappointed it wasn't all three in Cambridgeshire.

Hosts Histon hadn't scored for three games and, while their front pair were lively, they were unable to prevent the barren spell in front of goal from reaching four games.

GATESHEAD were refereed in a league game by a woman for only the second time in their history – but lady luck did not smile on the Conference Premier strugglers in Cambridgeshire.

After Wendy Toms had blazed a trail almost a decade ago in a game at Leek Town, Leicestershire whistle blower Amy Fearn took charge for the goalless stalemate at Histon.

Gateshead head for Cambridgeshire on Saturday looking to avenge an opening day 0-3 defeat against Histon at the International Stadium.

Only three players who started against the Stutes back in August are likely to be in a Gateshead side stripped of the services of key men Kris Gate and James Curtis.

Gateshead's bid to record consecutive Blue Square Premier wins for the first time this season failed when they narrowly lost their six-pointer at Tamworth.

It was a disappointing display from the Tynesiders who forced 11 corners, the majority in the opening 25 minutes, but failed to register a shot on target.

Gateshead's long wait to record consecutive league wins continues after they came unstuck at the Lamb ground last night.

Single goal winners in their previous game against Altrincham Gateshead were on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat in the midlands.

Following the success of February's fabulous 2 for 1 offer.

Our Partners Gateshead College have extended the 2 for 1 offer to include Mothers Day on Sunday March 14th and Easter Sunday on Sunday 4th April.

This is an offer to good to miss. Why not treat your loved ones to a scrumptious meal at the Baltic Campus on Gateshead Quays.

GATESHEAD head for Tamworth tonight urged to find the consistency to match their recent good fortune.

The Tynesiders’ survival battle has been boosted by Chester City’s expulsion from the Blue Square Premier and the return of the six points they lost to the Cestrians earlier in the season.
