NEWPORT have failed to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Vase, after losing 2-1 to Ascot United in their fifth round replay tonight (Tuesday).

Ascot, who forced the replay after coming from behind twice on Saturday, despite going down to ten men in the 38th minute, once again poached at just the right times to condemn the Islanders.

At the Racecourse ground, John Bennett - who scored the 96th minute equaliser at the weekend - scored a goal in each half and even though Aleks Przespolewski scored with 15 minutes left, it was too late.
