Full time result: Newport 2-2 Methilhill Strollers
The boys travelled to the crook today to try and take some revenge from the 3-2 defeat in the Scottish by a good Newport side.
The opening stages were cagey with both teams having less than half chances. That stopped very quickly when auxiliary left back Innes Campbell stepped up and set Newport for their first, the first of his three assists today. Newport led 1-0 and tried to capitalise on their lead but a centre half duo of Andy Bell and new boy Rhyce(aye that’s actually how you spell it) Gait stood firm. A signature Innes throw in caused chaos in the box as the best left back in the league Cole (still nae idea how to spell his second name) fired a volley home from close range.
Second half started with the hoot on the front foot but failing to make any clear cut chances, Newport took the lead through an incisive pass from their sub found their striker just the 5 yards offside who slotted home at the near post. A tactical change from the Wigz seen the hoot match Newport with 3 at the back and a big hoot hoot welcome to wee Tuck who’s first touch was in line with today’s date, SCARY. The change in shape worked as wee Colin’s loddy found himself through on goal, weird angle on the half volley and said ahh gon then the Newport keeper will put this in, and he did. 2-2. The closing stages seen Aido have a couple of half chances that he finished like a true centre half.
A draw a fair result on the day and all the best to Newport for the rest of the season (apart from Sol Campbell, what a tube)
