A SENSATIONAL performance from Newport County and in particular hat-trick hero Craig Reid saw the Exiles romp to an unexpected victory in their first fixture of 2009.

The Exiles were the best side throughout and two Reid headers, either side of an unbelievable volley, saw them stun the Conference South league leaders who were previously unbeaten on the road this term.

The visitors scored a late consolation goal, before former Tottenham man Jeff Minton saw red.
