Exiles fixture against Cambridge United to be moved

Newport County AFC's Sky Bet League Two clash against Cambridge United next Saturday will be moved, the EFL has confirmed.

The fixture will be moved following this afternoon’s announcement in respect of the HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral at 3pm on the same day.

An EFL spokesperson said: "As a mark of respect, EFL matches scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 17 April will be moved to avoid a clash with the funeral of HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

"The EFL will now work with its Clubs to determine at what time the matches will be played, giving consideration to the timing of the service. 

"An announcement will follow in due course."
