Goals from Charlie McNeill and Omari Forson in each half secured the three points for the young Reds at Brunton Park on Tuesday night, in front of a significant away following.
United are in our fourth season in this competition but it was a first chance for many of the side to test themselves against a senior outfit and Binnion was happy with what he saw.
“It was my first taste of it and a lot of the lads’ first taste of it and it was just a brilliant experience in terms of the challenge in front of us: the moments in the game when we were really dominant, the moments when we were really up against it and it was a bit helter-skelter,” said Binnion.
