Poor defending throughout proved costly for the Shrimps, who saw former Morecambe favourite Aaron Wildig score twice.

With Max Melbourne suspended and Joel Senior injured, Morecambe boss Ged Brannan brought in Kayden Harrack and David Tutonda who both struggled all evening.

Morecambe started well but were two goals down after 18 minutes, Wildig with a neat finish from Lewis Payne’s cross before Adam Lewis converted another ball in.

The Shrimps then began to find their way into the game with Gwion Edwards’ deflected shot hitting the bar.

He reduced the deficit on 31 minutes, running through the centre of defence before beating keeper Nick Townsend.

Morecambe keeper Archie Mair tipped over Harry Charsley’s shot from distance before half-time, after which Newport made it 3-1 on 54 minutes.
