Saturday, 21 March 2009

Newport completed a double over the Doughboys as they climbed into the Premier Division top three.

Rob Macdonald gave the Swans the lead after 28 minutes, picking up a clearance on the edge of the box and volleying into the net, with Darren Lynch adding a second goal for the home side eight minutes later, heading in a pin point cross.

The unmarked James Daldy scored a 46th minute Wellingborough reply but their comeback hopes were extinguished by Lynch's 25th goal of the campaign after 69 minutes, the striker winning a challenge with a defender before firing home. 

Newport: James Howarth, Alex Phillips, Rob Tapp, John Thorpe, James Fletcher, Danny Nicholls, Scott Mulkern (Aidy Mann), Richard Armstrong (Drew Mitten), Vinny Shrieves, Darren Lynch, Rob Macdonald (Kwazi Nkumalo).

Wellingborough: Michael Freeman, Adam Bridgeford, Ashley Brown (James Russell), Nick Mason, Matt Harris, David Coales, Dan Spaughton, Joe Cossey (Jonny Hazell), James Daldy (Matt Freeman), Dan Rogers, Paul Smith.
