BRAGGING rights were at stake as two football sides were pitted against each other at St James’ Park.
Newcastle United invited March Rangers under-16s and under-15s to play on the prestigious pitch, with full match officials and the use of their facilities.
The two sides drew 3-3 in a game worthy of their illustrious surroundings.
The under-16s dominated the first 20 minutes with two early goals from Ben Lister.
The under-15s fought back and were rewarded with a goal from Joshua Doncaster just before half time.
In the second half, Solomon Orieji and Thomas Morton struck for the under-15s but Jordon Tombling scored a late equaliser.
After the game the players, club officials and parents celebrated with a meal in the official bar in the ground.
