Carl Finnigan's goal just after the half time break condemned Bolton to yet another defeat and extended Newcastle United's unbeaten home run to thirteen matches last night.
The young striker hit his sixteenth goal at reserve team level when substitute Andy Carroll flicked on a Craig Baxter throw in into his path but some good news for the Wanderers is that Irish international Joey O'Brien completed the whole game following a recent injury.
Wanderers could have gone ahead in the ninth minute of the game when Robert Sissons shot from a Johann Smith cross hit the post via a deflection of an onrushing Newcastle defender.
Two minutes later Finnigan had a chance at the other end of the field but his volley from Alan O'Brien's cross landed directly into the arms of Bolton's Omani international Ali Al-Habsi.
On the half hour mark United's Australian youngster James Troisi fired high and wide over the goal after the hard working Finnigan had nodded the ball into his path.
A minute before the referee blew for half time Bolton could have gone in front but defender Mark Ellis smashed the ball over the crossbar following a dangerous free kick from Matt Jansen.
After the re-start Newcastle went in front through Finnigan in a well worked team move but Wanderers could not force an immediate reply through Oscar Perez long range effort.
The Trotters had a penalty appeal turned down in the 54th minute as Newcastle left back Craig Baxter was adjudged to have turned Scott Jamieson's header out for a corner with his hand but the referee waved away any protests.
Jansen and substitute James Sinclair had late chances to give the Wanderers a share of the points but Newcastle defended well to extend their unbeaten run at Kingston Park.
