ANOTHER STEP NEARER TO SAFETY. 

NEWPORT BEATEN AT SOMERTON PARK.

Two more valuable points were won by the Grecians when they defeated Newport County at Somerton Park today. The City, deserving winners on the day's form, are fighting their way back to League safety and the re-election clouds are melting away. The outlook is brighter because the team has made such a wonderful im provement in the last three months.
