Following Monday's 3-2 victory over the mackems, Newcastle U21s lost by the odd goal in five at the Heritage Park home of Bishop Auckland on Friday.

Retaining all but one of the starting line-up, the only change to the side - Ben Parkinson - put United ahead on 12 minutes, controlling Jamie Miley's crossfield pass before evading a defender and finishing.
 
That lead proved to be short-lived however, with a left wing cross by Pharrell Willis swept home by Ajay Matthews in the 20th minute to make it 1-1.

Undaunted, the Magpies restored their advantage with 28 minutes played; Boro 'keeper Shea Connor unable to prevent Kyle Crossley from netting from a tight angle for a fourth goal in just three games. 

The Heritage Park goal frames were then tested in the following minutes - Finch rattling the Toon crossbar from the edge of the box on 31 minutes, before visiting defenders Ciaran Thompson both struck the woodwork at the opposite end before half time.

Proceedings were halted after six minutes of the second half, match referee Andrew Miller requiring treatment before being replaced by fourth official Macauley Gibson after a delay.

The Teessiders regained parity in the 89th minute, when Jack Hannah was allowed a free header from Aidan Bridge's centre from the right.

And in the second minute of eight added on, Boro decisively went ahead for the first time - Willis cutting in from the left before unleashing an unstoppable shot beyond Will Brown and into the Newcastle net via a post.  

This has been another GW production.
