24 January 2012 11:37
The Tyne-Wear derby between Newcastle and Sunderland was moved - and now the Reserve team match between the two sides has also been given a new date.

The first-team clash has been selected for live broadcast by ESPN, meaning it will now take place on Sunday, 4th March.

And the second-string meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, 21st February, has now been moved to Thursday, 8th March - just four days after the first-teams do battle.

This Barclays Premier Reserve League fixture will also take place at St James' Park, with a 7pm kick-off.
