Jacob Draper was once on the conveyor belt to becoming a professional footballer, but has no regrets he switched to hockey. The Wales and Great Britain international was good enough with the larger round ball to be part of Cardiff City’s academy programme from the age of seven.

The County manager was impressed after seeing his team twice come from behind against Portsmouth at Rodney Parade on Tuesday night before claiming their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-2 win. Former Penybont and Cardiff Met striker James Waite’s winner proved the key moment, one of two Newport goals scored by former Cymru Premier players, with Will Evans also finding the net.

Morison’s men slumped to another derby day defeat – their fifth in a row – on Sunday when they lost 2-0 in the Severnside derby at Bristol City. Morison was frustrated with his team’s finishing ability, or lack of it, and said he was fed up of defending his strikers over missed opportunities.
