NEWCASTLE United enjoyed a change of scenery on Wednesday morning as Kevin Keegan took training from the sunny surroundings of St.James' Park.
The lads took part in a full-scale practice match with Abdoualye Faye and Damien Duff among the goals - the Irish star cracking a terrific 20-yard shot into the roof of the net at the Gallowgate End.
Almost the entire Toon party were present as they continue their two-week preparations ahead of next Saturday's clash with Man Utd back at SJP.
