"FROM THE COACH"
"Welcome to today's game against Bedwas and thank you for coming out to support us - particular thanks to those supporters for whom this is the third Newport game they have watched in just over a week!"
"Obviously with 3 games in 8 days, it's difficult to address issues and work on weaker areas but a win is a win and we'll take what we got on Tuesday. Having said that, there were some key improvements to our game which I hope to bring forward into today's match."
"The pressure was on for a win on Tuesday and the team rose to the occasion. We played a lot of controlled rugby in the first half which we haven't been doing recently so was very pleased with that. The errors started creeping in during the second half, and although the situation wasn't helped by the slippery ball and the weather conditions, it was the same for both teams so I'll be looking for Newport to be more clinical today. Overall though, we've taken a confidence boost from the Pontypridd match into today's game and I hope we'll see the results of that on the pitch against Bedwas."
"Thanks for your support."
