Owain and Geraint Inspire Win
Owain and Geraint Hobbs were the matchday mascots for the all important first match of 2011 as Newport took on Glamorgan Wanderers. They were important guests as their Dad is the secretary of the Newport Official Supporters Club. Owain who is ten and Geraint who is eight both attend St Mary's RC School and play for Newport HSOB. The boys first met up with their favourite players, Mike Poole, Owen Broad, Andy Brown and skipper Alex Jones and had some pictures taken with them. They then led the team out with Alex and joined the team for a minutes silence to remember Newport stalwarts Alf Panting and Bob Hughes. The match was a scrappy affair but Newport held out against a determined opposition and won the day, perhaps with a little inspiration from the Hobbs boys. Nick Jackson. FoNR Community Rep |
