NEWPORT COUNTY 2 AFC TELFORD UNITED 1

SECOND half goals from Christian Jolley and Danny Crow gave Newport all three points against their disciplined visitors who remain bottom of the Conference National.

The Exiles powered up to third, level on points with Kidderminster with games in hand after Jolley's header just after the break and a strike from an almost impossible angle by Crow made Telford's late strike nothing more than a consolation.

County also blooded new signing Rhys Griffiths from the bench ahead of four successive away games over the next two weeks as they look to maintain their push for promotion.
