Magpies Fall Down To Earth

Newcastle United fielded an almost youthful side and was downed 1 nil by Phil Brown's Tigers.

Sam Allardyce squad was at barebones and hopefully this result could spur the new owner and chairman to invest on new players as it reaches critical stages.

A first half strike from Bryan Hughes was enough to win the game, the last test before United go into their final pre-season game on Sunday against Sampdoria.

Newcastle United:
Harper, Huntington, Ramage (Francis, 66), Edgar, Lough, Pattison, Geremi (Godsmark, 54), N’Zogbia (Bertram, 70), Carroll (Danquah, 77), Martins (LuaLua, 54), Troisi (Doninger, 66).

Subs (not used): Forster, Krul, Ferguson, Patterson, Marwood, Morris.
Referee: Mr D Drysdale (Lincs)
