Full time: Newcastle U21s 0 Carlisle 2

The latest Magpie trialist is Cathal Heffernan, an 18 year-old Irish youth international defender. Previously with Cork City, Heffernan joined AC Milan last year.

Managed by former Newcastle coach Paul Simpson, the Cumbrians gained promotion from League One via the playoffs last season. 

Their starting line-up included ex-Magpie Paul Huntington, while goalkeeper Dan Langley remained unused on the bench - he's currently on trial at Brunton Park following his recent exit from SJP.

Saturday afternoon saw Newcastle U21s continue their pre-season preparations by hosting Carlisle United at Gateshead International Stadium.

The Cumbrians went ahead on 19 minutes when a corner kick was blocked but sent back into the box, where Ryan Edmondson's effort flicked off Magpie striker Michael Ndiweni and into his own net.

Carlisle's Jordan Gibson then rattled the goal frame with a 29th minute effort - the same player bringing a save out of Max Thompson shortly before the interval.

11 minutes after the interval it was the turn of replacement goalkeeper Will Brown to deny Gibson, before Newcastle's Diallo had sight of goal at the other end but got too much height in his shot.

What proved to be Newcastle's best chance fell to Huntley just after the hour, but he could only direct his header at the opposition goalkeeper.

Carlisle then confirmed their success with a second goal in the 89th minute; Jack Armer's centre from the right flank converted by Edmondson.
