United's U21 side were victorious at Little Benton on Wednesday afternoon, defeating their Hibs counterparts in a kickabout.

The black and whites grabbed an early lead when Michael Ndiweni capitalised on a defensive error and walked the ball round Murray Johnson and into the net with just four minutes on the clock.

The visitors levelled on 27 minutes, when Ewan Henderson saw his shot from the edge of the box rattle the crossbar and fall into the path of Matthew Hoppe, who side-footed home.

Hibs threatened a second goal in the closing moments of the first half with a couple of long-distance efforts that were narrowly off target.

With the rain beginning to fall, Ghanaian trialist midfield Emmanuel Owusu tried his luck from fully 30 yards out, Johnson tipping over the effort.

Into the second half and the hosts regained the lead on 64 minutes when Amadou Diallo netted his fourth goal in as many games, cutting in from the left, beating two men and curling a right footer into the far corner.

The Magpies then opened up a 3-1 advantage nine minutes later when recently-arrived substitute Isaac Westendorf took James Huntley's pass and fired in.

This was the second meeting of the two sides in as many months, Hibs running out 3-1 winners on their own training ground at Ormston last time.
