Road to Wembley - Late Powell goal forces replay

It was Western League Champions Bitton who took the lead midway through the first half when the Newport IOW defence failed to clear. Newport IOW were awarded a penalty for hand ball in the 44 minute but Charlie Smeeton's penalty was saved.

The second half saw Newport dominate the match more but the equaliser only came in the dying minutes when ex-AWAC man DARREN POWELL headed in an excellent cross from James Butt. That reminds me I must tell you my funny Darren Powell and the Isle of Wight story one day!

Anyway Newport will bring Bitton back to St George's Park on Wednesday for the replay.

Attendance: 93
