It was a classic game of two half's. With Newport County starting the better of the two teams and it no real surprise when Newport took the lead, this was partly due to a goalkeeping error when the Barrow keeper played the wrong ball at the wrong time and it ended up in the back of his net.

However it was a different story in the second half with Barrow taking the game back to Newport, they in turn made it 1-1 and once Barrow broke even it seemed as if there was to be a winner it would be Barow.  Sure enough with about 12 mins to go they made it  2 - 1 on the night and that's how it ended. There was some good play by both teams in spells during the game & some good saves as well. The ref seemed to let one or two fouls slip by unpunished, don't think that would happen in the Premiership.
