Dunston come of the back of two positive results, twice fighting back to claim a 2-2 draw against Middlesbrough under 23's, before defeating Newcastle Blue Star by three goals to nil on Saturday. Liam Thear has scored in both of these games, whilst new signings Jake Jensen, Dan Staples, James Anderson, Jon Shaw and the returning Sado Djalo seem to be fitting in seamlessly with the squad.
