NEWPORT County AFC moved to within three points of the top of the Blue Square Bet Premier with two games in hand after a nail-biting 1-0 win at Hyde.

Christian Jolley's tenth-minute lob was enough to earn County all three points on a day when leaders Wrexham were held 1-1 at home by Alfreton Town.

Justin Edinburgh's men weathered a storm from the hosts after the break to record their fourth successive win.
