A Charlie Lennon hat-trick helped Boro's Under-18s to a win over Sunderland at the Academy of Light.
Hazeem Bakre opened the scoring for James Marwood's side before Lenoon's treble, with Finn Geragusian getting a brace in reply for the hosts.
The Under-18s have one more fixture in the diary and another north east derby to look forward to when Newcastle United visit the Riverside on Tuesday evening. Tickets are £3 or free for Season Card holders.
