Cambridge United 3-0 Newport County

Barry Corr joined Cambridge United from Southened United in June 2015

Barry Corr's brace helped Cambridge United to an opening-day victory against visiting Newport County.

The forward struck with a perfectly placed header from Harrison Dunk's delivery, before claiming his second when one-on-one with keeper Joe Day.

Newport were awarded a penalty when Dunk fouled Scott Boden, but Sam Beasant read Medy Elito's spot kick.

Robbie Simpson settled any Cambridge nerves 10 minutes from time, driving home from the edge of the area.

Newport County manager Terry Butcher told BBC Wales Sport: "Three-nil is a hammering but I don't think it was a hammering at all.

"We had good possession of the ball and first half I thought it was even-stevens, we've hit the post and had one or two other opportunities.

"When we were 2-0 down we were trying to chase the game and I gambled and put on an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old but there you go, that's all we have."
