Newport are back in

            

    Wrexham will consider themselves unlucky to lose this all-Welsh encounter, their third successive failure in the play-offs, but only have themselves to blame after missing several opportunities in front of a crowd of 16,346.Wrexham's compact middle three of Dean Keates, Jay Harris and Joe Clarke dictated patient build-up play, as Newport struggled for possession and support. Those opportunities woke the Newport players from their slumber, too, as they returned after the interval with more vigour and belief, helping to raise the tempo of a game that had begun to amble along.Having negotiated the semi-finals with few alarms, both managers stuck with the old adage of not changing a winning side.The Dragons targeted the space behind Newport's wing-backs, and it brought the first real opening when 36-year-old Brett Ormerod, a Championship play-off final scorer with Blackpool, cut inside from the right but dragged his effort wide of the near post. But the striker was not to be denied as he struck four minutes from time. David Artell could only head a long ball towards his own goal and Jolley latched on to it in a flash before coolly lifting the ball over the on-rushing Chris Maxwell.It was a more straightforward choice for Wrexham player-manager Andy Morrell, whose squad had been disrupted by a string of late-season injuries, most notably for leading goalscorer Danny Wright.Wrexham goalkeeper Maxwell was then perfectly placed to gather Lee Minshull's flick as Newport finally gave their outnumbered fans some encouragement.Edinburgh, though, resisted the temptation to start with Newport's top scorer O'Connor.
