Newport County secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town thanks to Bobby Kamwa's second-half strike. The match was a cagey affair with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances in the opening period, evidenced by Shrewsbury's early substitution of Tommy McDermott just before halftime. Kamwa's 68th-minute goal proved to be the decisive moment as Newport showed greater urgency after the break. The closing stages became increasingly fractious with multiple bookings flying in, including three yellow cards in stoppage time as Shrewsbury desperately pushed for an equalizer. This victory gives Newport valuable breathing space in mid-table while Shrewsbury's disappointing away form continues.
