Boro staged a late comeback against Stoke City at Rockliffe - but the visitors held firm to collect the points.
First half goals from Sidney Moore and Jaden Ogbebor gave Stoke the advantage before Elliot Fearn made it 3-0 with 25 minutes remaining.
Boro immediately reduced the deficit, courtesy of Addis Dore, and a second goal came seven minutes from time when Bailey Palmer, pictured, converted after a quick break from Finn Cartwright.
Rob Jones' youngsters finished strongly as they searched for an equaliser, but they were unable to find a way past the resolute Potters.
