ETIENNE Esajas played 45 minutes as a youthful Swindon Town side lost 2-0 to a strong Newport County in a development match today.
The visitors took the lead on the half hour when Town failed to deal with a cross and a County player drove home.
Both sides made changes at the interval and the Robins pressed for an equaliser, but instead conceded a second with one minute remaining when they Paul Bodin's side again failed to clear.

Swindon Town XI: Bedwell; Murdon, Oakley, Chapman, Sim; Atiku, Clark, Grant, Esajas; Pavett, Storey.
