22 mins Archer shot. 0-1

Abandoned 28 minutes.

Extreme weather conditions caused the postponement of Newcastle's rescheduled Premier League 2 fixture at Whitley Park on Friday evening.

Brought forward from Monday as a result of Villa's Papa John's Trophy tie, less than half an hour's play was possible before conditions deteriorated to such an extent that the lines became obscured and the ball barely rolled forward.

The visitors went ahead on 22 minutes when goalkeeper Dan Langley parried a long-range shot into the path of Cameron Archer who side-footed home.

Unfortunately the abandonment came too late for United's Elliot Anderson, who had already limped off in the 15th minute with what was later confirmed as a muscle pull.

Thanks to GW for braving the storm - we'd already set off for Arsenal the following lunchtime...
