Bob Adams enjoys a final-day success in farewell match
Pride was the overriding emotion as Bob Adams enjoyed a winning send-off at Newport.
An impressive 26-24 success at home to National League Two West high-fliers Clifton provided the perfect farewell to Adams, who has stepped down as director of rugby and head coach.
“The players were superb on Saturday and we have found our form at the end of the season,” said Adams, who has spent 18 years at the Old Showground. “We beat a side that has finished third and we have shown that we can compete with the big boys.
“We have found that consistency that you need in the last six matches, but we found it too late and that’s the truth of the matter.
“In the end we finished five points behind Wimbledon and Hull in the other National Two divisions, so another bonus point win would have kept us up.
