The 2019-20 campaign was an eventful, yet unfinished season for Newport County as The Exiles ultimately secured a 14th-place finish in League Two, a position confirmed by a points-per-game calculation after the season was terminated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Leading the line was the dependable Pádraig Amond, whose 8 league goals (13 overall) were crucial, but the true excitement came in the cup competitions. The Exiles achieved a memorable run to the semi-finals of the EFL Trophy and reached the Third Round of the FA Cup, a testament to the side's grit and knack for a cup shock, making it a unique and defining chapter for the club's modern history.
