Nine year old Sam Galliers who attends Chepstow High School, provided the mascot duties for Newport's win over the Drovers of Llandovery. Sam plays for Newport High School Old Boys in their 'Specials' team and as such is used to overcoming a challenge.

He helped skipper Andy Coombs lead out the team before an indifferent first half left the 'Port some fifteen points adrift and staring a home defeat in the face.

The second half was a different story however, with Newport scoring twenty four unanswered points to take the victory at the death.

Sam also met his favourite player, Mark Workman and also had a photo opportunity with Andrew Coombs before kick off.
