Up in the Press Box Junior Journalist Luke was taking notes about his day as Junior Journalist covering the match. Here's his report of the day...

I would like to thank Newport County for the eggs-ellent opportunity of being a Junior Journalist. I really enjoyed meeting my heroes David Pipe and Mike Flynn.
I am hoping to go into sports Journalism in the future but this is where my dream has started."
