1st Team v Gateshead FC A

Originally due to be played on the 3G surface, this game was switched to the grass pitch inside the International Stadium but the wind played a good part in spoiling it.The hosts took a very early lead before goals from Rob Jefferson and Niki Langston put us 2-1 ahead at half time.However, with the wind in our faces we faced a pretty uphill task and the home side took full advantage, scoring 3 goals without reply.
