Tyreeq Bakinson of Newport County beats Paul Digby of Forest Green Rovers in a fiercely contested game

Newport County missed the chance to close the gap on leaders Lincoln, after Mickey Demetriou missed a penalty.

Forest Green Rovers took the lead when Dayle Grubb's cross deflected into the net off visiting defender Scot Bennett.

Padraig Amond's fifth goal of the season at least rescued a point for Newport, when he picked the ball up in the box before firing into the corner.

But County should have won it when Reuben Reid handled in the area, only for Demetriou to blaze over.
