Tipton Town 1 Newport Town 4
After missing a couple of weeks courtesy of the flu,the blog is back in business.
When you're playing the league- leaders and they have a goal difference of +44 and yours is -1 there's really only going to be one outcome although things didn't quite look that way on 20 minutes when Tipton took the lead. Such was the case at Tipton Sports Academy today.Newport are a good side and eventually ran out well-deserved winners. To be fair to the hosts, they gave it a right good go,having to play the entire second half with the centre-forward in goal after the regular keeper went to hospital at half-time with suspected concussion.The big difference in the two sides was Newports' forwards always looked far more threatening and but for the substitute keeper the visitors could have been looking at a bigger score.
