Hide AdCook felt his players got what they deserved in a show of character on a heavy pitch in south Wales.
He said: ‘It was a fantastic game and the players deserve all the plaudits.
‘They are so honest and keep going with what they do.
‘They (Newport) didn’t have a lot of chances and I felt a win for them would have been unjust.
‘We spoke about shaking off that shackle – and today we did that.
‘In pursuit of what we want we need to take this now and keep going forward.’
