MK Dons recorded their second pre-season victory in three days with another encouraging workout at St Neots Town.

Jabo Ibehre's excellent first-half finish coupled with second-half efforts from Luke Chadwick and substitute Dean Lewington matched Thursday night's total against Oxford City.

Robert Hughes' late penalty may have denied them a second clean sheet, but boss Karl Robinson will be relieved to have brought his squad through another 90 minutes' preparation without major setback or injury.

Robinson made seven changes to the side that started Thursday's win at Oxford, giving match time to as much of his first team squad as possible in the summer's early stages.

Three of those changes were in a back four that looked assured both in and out of possession. Burnley youngster Kevin Long was among them, partnering Tom Flanagan in the central defence as Robinson considers a loan move for the Irishman.

Handed the captain's role in Lewington's initial absence, Sam Baldock showed plenty of his trademark sparkle in attack and was only denied a goal by an excellent challenge from advancing 'keeper Luke McShayne in the early exchanges.

Jabo Ibehre opened the scoring in fine style.

Zipping the ball around the immaculate surface at the Hunts Post Community Stadium, the Dons predictably looked the stronger side against their United Counties Premier opponents.

But ironically, it was a bit of route-one football that allowed them to open the scoring on 14 minutes - Ibehre powering onto a ball over the top before superbly lifting a 30-yard lob over the stranded McShayne.

The flowing football quickly resumed as Ibehre stabbed over following a lovely exchange between Baldock, Luke Howell and Lewis Guy down the right.

Mark Carrington dipped a long-range volley just over on 28 minutes and when Guy just failed to convert Angelo Balanta's clever throughball two minutes later, Chadwick rattled the left post with the follow-up.

Mark Carrington dips a first-half volley just over.

St Neots looked impressively organised by boss Dennis Greene in the first period, despite tiring somewhat, and Will Fordham's well-struck free-kick brought about Willy Gueret's most testing piece of work a minute before the break.

Changes arrived early in the second half for the visitors as several of those involved in midweek got back on the pitch.

Jermaine Easter was immediately in the hunt for goals as he jabbed over following a neat exchange with Ibehre and when the post prevented his angled drive finding the corner on 62, Chadwick was waiting to drill in the rebound.

Dons began to dominate as the home side's legs began to really wane - Easter drilling Ibehre's backheel over when well-placed in the box and Sean O'Hanlon, seeing his first action of pre-season, heading Peter Leven's corner just wide.

Luke Chadwick steers home the Dons' second.

Easter's personal quest to find the net continued to go unrewarded as his goal-bound shot was superbly blocked by Glen Fuff and, from the resulting corner, the Welshman's clever flick was hooked off the line.

Lewington added some gloss to the scoreline with a well-placed header from Leven's right-wing corner four minutes from time.

But St Neots would get some reward for their afternoon endeavours when Hughes slotted past Searle after Fabio Jesus had been tripped in the box by the Dons skipper.

Two from two for the Dons in pre-season, but bigger tests lie ahead, namely Blue Square Premier outfit Kettering at Rockingham Road on Tuesday.
