CHAMPIONS!

Congratulations to Newport County AFC who won promotion (and firmly secured the Blue Square South Championship) to the Blue Square Conference last night, with a 2-0 win over Havant & Waterlooville, with 7 games to go! An excellent evening (with a bumper 4,224 crowd) and fantastic season!

NEWPORT COUNTY

And finally BBC Wales (well the BBC Sports at least rather than BBC Wales itself) has woken up to the fact that Newport County AFC (under the management of Dean Holdsworth) are on the brink of securing promotion to the Conference. Over recent years the absence of results (let alone any match reports - save when playing against Cardiff, Swansea or Wrexham in the FAW Cup) on the BBC Wales News bulletins, has long been noticed (and noted) by people in the South East whether they be supporters or not. Perhaps BBC Wales will finally take notice, when the County are promoted they will be in the same division as Wrexham, so a degree of parity of coverage of results would only be expected. And lets not forget Colwyn Bay (who are also chasing promotion to Conference North).

Of course we are, however dealing with BBC Wales, so don't hold your breath... anyway Come on the Port!!!
