Welsh sports clubs hoping to get fans back into their stadiums will have to wait whilst the Welsh Government assesses the plans announced in England.

But in England, officials have welcomed the UK Government’s decision to allow a limited number of spectators back into venues in lower-risk areas when their second lockdown ends next week.

Kevin Ellison enjoyed his maiden Newport County goal probably just as much as the ribbing he gave boss Michael Flynn after. The ageless (well 41) midfielder netted the winner deep into stoppage time just minutes after coming off the bench against 10-man Port Vale.

Brandon Cooper has earned the praise of his manager and paid back his Newport County team-mates for his miss in the Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out against Newcastle United. The centre-back rose to head home the winner three minutes from time, earning a 2-1 victory at home against Harrogate Town. His soaring strike at the far post converted an inch-percent corner from Scott Twine and hit the back of the net at the same end at which he had failed to score against the Premier League side last month.

Newport County may be top of the table, but Michael Flynn is refusing to get carried away as his team aims for a fifth successive win for the first time since returning to the Football league in 2013.
