Unfortunately, Swindon won out with a late winner - Kiban Rai, Mal Graham (x2) and Sonny Lewis found the net for County. Two under-16s were involved too, with 

They were also involved in a 5-2 defeat to Bournemouth, with Lewis again on the scoresheet against the Cherries.

Under-9s - Under-14s

The Newport/Bournemouth face-offs continued across the age groups with the Under-9s, 10s, 11s, 13s and 14s all playing competitive fixtures against Bournemouth. 

The Under-16s and 18s both have two scheduled games this week while the schoolboys are hopeful of having games scheduled in the next seven days. We will update you all this time next week!
