Game 7: Salisbury City 2.1 Newport County 22.08.06 (NCS)




A big crowd at the Ray Mac (1,101) for the midweek visit of Newport County and a cracking opening to the game, when Robbie Matthews powered his way through the Newport defence to score after 5 minutes.


A clever freekick from the edge of the penalty area brought an equaliser from Newport who held on until the 85 minute before Wayne Turk bundled in a header from close range to send the majority of the crowd wild. Newport were quite a physical team and their supporters weren’t too impressed with the number of times Salisbury players went down from challenges. A real nail biter of a game, especially in the second half when Salisbury got the ball down and played some good attacking football.
