FA Cup R2 replay:
Newport County 0-1 Plymouth (AET).
A sell-out of Plymouth supporters.
An anxious evening for many at Rodney Parade in the knowledge that victory for County  would secure a first ever meeting against Liverpool in the next round, and at Anfield. Midfielder Finlay Wood made his senior debut for County. After a goalless ninety minutes which was even throughout, County's Jennison Myrie-Williams conceded a penalty during the first period of extra time for handball.
Paul Garita took the kick instead of the usual Stuart Carey. His kick hit a post and was cleared.Into the second period of extra time and still goalless, Argyle were awarded a second penalty midway through. This time, it was Darren Jones for a hard tackle on David Goodwillie. Top scorer Stuart Carey scored which eventually gave Argyle a trip to Anfield.

Plymouth Argyle 6-1 Newport County.
With just four games to go until the seasons end and County aiming to retain Football League status, they traveled to Plymouth knowing that a Plymouth win would guarantee Argyle promotion to L1. Two up at the break with goals in the final seven minutes from Matt Kennedy and Jake Jervis, Argyle were comfortable winners with both Jervis and Kennedy getting another each and one each from both Stuart Carey and Ryan Taylor. Aaron Williams scored during injury time for County. County were now one point behind Hartlepool with both clubs having three to play.
