The Rovers made a pretty clean sweep through the ranks of the players who remained in the camp at the end of last season, and, with very few exceptions.

it was the younger element who were asked to remain. To bring out the best in these and to stiffen both defence and attack 10 new players were signed on, so that, as Manager Prince-Cox puts it, the Rovers' camp is a blend of skill, youth. and experience.

For years one at Newport's biggest handicaps has been the small stature of their players. This season visitors to Soinerton Park will face one of the heftiest and tallest teams in the competition. On top of that, Mr.

Manager David Jack has chosen his recruits on the big side this time. He claims to have strengthened the week spots (the inside forwards) by bringing in Graham (Hartlepool), Dickenson (Rotherham) and Egan (Brighton). Dickenson is almost certain to be In the inside-left position and although Brook (Coventry) and Everest (formerly captain of Cardiff City) have been signed as full-backs, the defence. I learn, will be unchanged for the opening games.

He believes he has made some good captures and confidently anticipates a record season. In the second half of last season Aldershot did very well, and, as most of the players who were in the League team then are still with the club there seems no reason why a winning team should not be found quickly.

Every effort has been made during the summer monthe to strengthen the weaknesses forward that were only too apparent last season, and if the reputations of the five new forwards signed count for anything. Cardiff should be more lively in attack than they have been for some time.
