Calum Kavanagh nodded home from Brad Halliday’s cross and then Andy Cook claimed his 19th goal of the season when he converted a Richie Smallwood free-kick.
Bobby Pointon made it 3-0 after 56 minutes with a thundering finish into the top corner.
Newport pulled one back through Harry Charsley from Will Evans’ cross.
