Last meeting
minute strike was enough to give Newport County a 1-0 win over the South coast side lifting them into the League 2 automatic promotion places last January. Despite a barrage against the Newport goal in the last few moments of the game they were able to hang on and send the crowd into hysterics.thMark Byrne’s 68
Last time out
Newport fell to Mansfield Town by three goals to nil at the One Call Stadium in John Sheridan’s first away game as manager. The loss keeps County at the bottom of league 2 and with some tough games coming up, the manager will be hoping his loan signings help the side to grab a few points over the next few weekends.
