Alexander-Walker secures another pre-season win for Exiles
- Published
Moses Alexander-Walker netted a late winner as Newport County edged past Weston-super-Mare 1-0 to continue their promising pre-season campaign.
The 17-year-old academy product struck two minutes from time at the Optima Stadium, ensuring Dave Hughes' side maintained their unbeaten run in pre-season.
In a tightly contested encounter, chances were at a premium for both sides and the match looked destined to finish goalless until Michael Reindorf produced a moment of quality to unlock the Seagulls' defence.
Reindorf threaded a well-weighted pass through to Alexander-Walker, who kept his composure to fire home from a tight angle.
Newport manager Hughes handed a place on the bench to new loan signing Habeeb Ogunneye, who joined the Exiles from Manchester United earlier this week.
The Exiles continued their preparations ahead of the new League Two campaign with their fourth pre-season friendly under Hughes, who will be pleased by the resilience shown by his youthful squad.
