The shirts issued to Newport County AFC players in our historic Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle United are going under the hammer.
Michael Flynn’s men made history by progressing through to the fourth round of the competition for the first time in the club’s history, before falling to a penalty shootout defeat against the Magpies after an admirable performance. The Exiles also secured victories over Swansea City, Cambridge United and Watford before their clash against the Premier League side.
Now, we are giving you the chance to own a piece of Exiles history and, in the process, contribute to three charities - with 50% of the profits raised from the shirts being donated to Alzheimer's Society Cymru.
The remaining 50% will be split equally between the two other charities who were part of our #SaveOurShirtContinues crowdfunder - anti-bullying charity Kidscape and JDRF: The type 1 diabetes charity.
