United exited the County Cup at the first hurdle in an entertaining game in which either team could have won.
United took the lead on 21 minutes when Gary "Bobby Lad" Simmons cross came back off the bar and Andy Meikle perfectly dinked it back to the onrushing Jonny Angus who neatly headed home into the corner
The Deacon were level 1 minute later though when a player ran through the United midfield and rifled in a shot that Steve Barnes couldn't get enough on it to stop it going in
4 minutes later and United regained the lead. Gary Simmons swinging in a corner, using the wind perfectly, and the ball going in directly from the corner.
That's how it stayed until half time but 7 minutes into the second half The Deacon equalised with a nice finish after a break down the right
The Deacon scored the deciding goal in the 61st minute when a cross was put in from 7 yards out and despite some good attacking play from United after that it ended 3-2 to the Deacon
