Newport County and Grimsby Town shared the spoils in a goalless draw at Rodney Parade, with both goalkeepers producing penalty saves to keep the scoreboard blank.
Grimsby were the dominant side before the interval, but Newport grew into the contest after half-time, the two sides ultimately separated by little more than the heroics of Jackson Smith and Jordan Wright from twelve yards.

The visitors set the early tone as Andy Cook headed onto the top of the crossbar, before Kieran Green nodded against the outside of the post just before half-time. Evan Khouri also saw a shot blocked by Michael Spellman, while Ryan Delaney stopped another goalbound effort from Cook.
