Newcastle made their bow in the Pontins League
with a low-key home game against Darlington on Tuesday afternoon at their
adopted home ground of Whitley Park.
About 200 spectators were on hand to see a forgettable display from the Magpies
including: Sir Bobby, John Carver, Olivier Bernard and Shola Ameobi.
Highlights:
22 mins A glancing header from Acuna gave us the lead, the Chilean
getting on the end of a Quinn corner from the right.
47 mins LuaLua was fouled in the area and a slightly dubious penalty was
awarded. The same player took the spot kick but blazed it high over the
crossbar.
60 mins Goalscorer Acuna was given a straight red card after clashing on
the ground with Neil Wainwright, following a dubious challenge from the former
mackem.
90 mins Newcastle-born Mark Convery levelled things for Darlo with a late
effort, only 20 seconds from the final whistle.
