Newport County were beaten 3-2 by Lincoln City at Sincil Bank in December

Newport County kept their League Two play-off hopes alive with victory over champions Lincoln City at Rodney Parade.

Scot Bennett fired in off the bar for his second goal of the season to give Michael Flynn's side a priceless win.

Robbie Willmott nearly doubled their lead in the second half with a free-kick in difficult conditions.

County will move into the play-off places if they win their game in hand against Oldham Athletic on Tuesday.

Newport County manager Michael Flynn said: "It wasn't the most attractive game of football I've ever seen in my life, actually probably the worst. The difficult conditions didn't help

"I thought my boys were fantastic. They stood up to everything Lincoln threw at them and I've got to give credit to Lincoln with them being champions and still the amount of effort and commitment they gave.

"We've got to win on Tuesday night but it's going to be tough."
