The U23s suffered their first defeat of the season to the smoggies. It was their 3rd successive road match of the season for them. Newcastle had plenty of chances in this match and Head Coach Peter Beardsley claimed Newcastle were the better team. Beardsley said “It was a game of two halves. They were better in the first half, no doubt about that, and we were better in the second half. We has the best situations, rather than chances, but wasted a lot of them and it’s always hard when you’re chasing the game.”
