Newport County (H) [BSBP Game #1] L4-3

Mansfield Town kicked off there 2012-13 Season with defeat to Newport County yesterday afternoon at the One Call Stadium.

Poor defending saw the Stags trail by two goals at the break however a sublime fight back after the half time whistle saw Jake Speight and Matt Green level things up. The Stags defending continued to be poor however and Newport grabbed a further two through ex Stags Aaron O'Connor and Jefferson Louis.

Jake Speight then struck again with two minutes remaining to set up a tense finish however time was against the Stags who tried, but ultimately failed to grab an equalizer, meaning they fell to their first defeat of the 2012-13 campaign.
