Lauren is the Calm Before the Storm
Nine year old Lauren Parry is an experienced hand at the mascot job these days and lead out Newport with Captain Andy Coombs prior to kick off. The match itself was a full blooded affair with an intense rivalry boiling over at times.
Lauren's inspiration must have done the trick however as Newport chalked up one of their biggest wins over their local rivals.
