Joe Ralls and Mark Harris scored the goals that rewarded the fans at CCS with a victory over Newport County. Ralls fired an unstoppable drive into the back of the net in the first half as part of a City side that could be close to next weeks starting line up.

After a number of second half substitutions one of the players off the bench, Mark Harris, finshed smartly from a Ryan Giles cross in the leter stages of the game.
