FT: Stevenage 1-0 Newport County: God Save The King sung at the Lamex as League Two resumes, writes Owen Rodbard
Stevenage continued their rich vein of form in League Two after a comfortable 1-0 win against Newport at The Lamex on Tuesday night.
An Alex Gilbey stunner on his home debut was enough for the three points to keep Boro second in the table, after an emotional tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth before the match.
