COUNTY BOUNTY (Cewnty Bewtny!) - NEWPORT beat THE JACKS to set up poss Cardiff clash

Yes, they really are trying
to win a bowling ball !!!

In tonight's quarter-final of the world's most meaningless cup aka The FAW Premier Cup, a shock as Newport County overcame League One leaders Swansea City 1-0 fielded a largely reserve but still strong side.

The largely uneventful clash, where Swans had the first half chances and Newport dominated the second period without creating much, was decided in the final moments of added time when Charlie Griffin headed home off the underside of the bar.

County will travel to face the winners of the Welshpool v Cardiff City tie, the Bluebirds date to visit mid-Wales in the second week of January.

Should City triumph, it would mean a return visit to Ninian Park for several ex-Bluebirds including Jason Bowen, Lee Jarman and Damon Searles who all played 90 minutes against The Jacks tonight.
