The Toon lost 4-1 with wor anly goal comin' from Steve Watson who latched onto an Alan Shearer through baall and he shot past veteran goalie Bruce 'handstand' Grobbelaar to give us the lead in the 7th minute.
The lead was short lived however and the 'Mickey Mousers' came back with two goals to lead at the half time break.

'Big Al' then missed a penalty for us on the hour mark, before two more goals from the visitors sealed the victory for them.
