United took on division 4 side New Derby in a post season friendly with 14 players available
It couldn't have started any worse for United as a mistake was pounced upon in the first minute and New Derby were 1-0 up
Another United mistake on 28 minutes seen New Derby go into the break 2-0 up again they took advantage of the mistake
It was 3-0 after 51 minutes when a clearance fell to a New Derby player and they scored from the chance again
Just after the hour United pulled a goal back when a nice one-two between Anth Young and Gareth Downes seen Anth Young convert but a minute later a New Derby corner went directly in and made the score 4-1
Gareth Downes then went on to score two goals in two minutes to give United hope and make the score 4-3 but United were left to rue missed chances including a missed penalty amongst other chances and ended up with the defeat
Great effort though and deserved more from the game
