Foley scored his second and third goals of the season against York

Sam Foley and Craig Reid both scored twice as Newport County thumped York City to move into third place in the Blue Square Bet Premier table.

Foley headed in Robbie Matthews' pass from close-range before adding his third goal this season just before the half-hour from Darryl Knights' set-up.

Strike partner Reid's close-range shot into the top corner made it 3-0.

But Reid saved the best until last when he turned to chip York keeper Mike Ingham for his 11th goal of the season.
