Newport County 0-2 Barrow.
Who could forget this one. The Rodney Parade pitch was snow covered and over one hundred supporters, including myself, congregated to clear the pitch. It was cleared in time for the match to go ahead. Barrow, who were bottom before the match, humiliated County. Goals from Matthew Flynn late in the first half and from Danny Rowe midway through the second half earned Barrow an unexpected three points.

This was the first L2 match of the season at Rodney Parade. Liam Shephard put County in front shortly before twenty minutes with his first goal for the club. Lewis Hardcastle leveled for the Bluebirds around twenty eight minutes. Ryan Taylor got his second goal for County shortly after the break which proved to be the winner.

With around seven minutes remaining, Midfielder Jamie Devitt, who had previously had a loan spell with County, scored what proved to be the winner.
