Joe Carlisle landed 10 kicks to account for almost half Worcester's total
Worcester Warriors opened their British & Irish Cup campaign with an emphatic seven-try demolition of Newport.
Andy Short, Matt Kvesic, Greg King and Joe Carlisle ran in first-half tries to earn a 37-10 half-time cushion.
And, following the sending off of visiting number eight Andrew Coombs, Ed Shervington, Callum Black and Tom Arscott then crossed after the break.
Carlisle was on good form with the boot, landing seven conversions and three penalties for a 28-point haul.
After a week in which this fixture was in doubt, the home fly-half settled nerves by launching the Warriors on their way to victory with two early penalties.
Chris Wannell reduced arrears for Newport with a penalty of his own but Carlisle sent Andy Short under the posts before adding the conversion himself.
And, not to be outdone, Short's England Under-20 team-mate Kvesic turned the screw when he ran through a couple of weak tackles to touch down for the second try, Carlisle again adding the conversion.
Newport jolted them back to reality with a try of their own through Alan Alcock, Wannell converting.
But a third Carlisle penalty opened the gap again to 23-10 before Newport were reduced to 14 men when Coombs' off-the-ball kick was spotted by the referee.
Worcester, who had teenage winger Sam Miller making his debut, immediately made them pay.
Carlisle crossed for a try of his own that he also converted, before centre King, on his first appearance of the season, scored Warriors' fourth try, Carlisle again improving.
Newport's indiscipline cost them dear again early in the second half when Alex Jones was sin binned for off-the-ball retaliation.
And, playing against 13 men, Worcester stepped up the pressure, ultimately adding further tries against a thoroughly dispirited side through Shervington, Black and Arscott.
Warriors wing Oriol Ripol was also sin-binned in the final 10 minutes for a deliberate knock-on - the only minor blemish on an otherwise highly encouraging afternoon's work.
Worcester Academy director Andrew Stanley told BBC Hereford and Worcester:
"We'd asked the boys prior to the game to keep the momentum going from the league campaign and a result like this has done that.
"We're pleased to have translated what we did in training into the game.
"We had a good week considering all the weather conditions while the university have been very helpful in allowing us to use their 3G pitch."
