Newport beat Sholing 4-2 on penalties, so we'll be up against them. Away again in the second round.

Just two observations on this short Echo report:
1. You couldnt actually say we(in the 1st 20 mins) "took the chances that came our way ",there were quite a few others that didn't go in,inc. Bedfords chip from the halfway line and two that hit the bar.
2. I creased up when I read "Blues who led 5-1 at HT will now travel to Newport County in the second half".150 miles in 15 minutes??
