Morecambe suffered a fourth successive 1-0 league defeat as they went down to Newport at the Mazuma Stadium.
Former Shrimps midfielder Aaron Wildig was gifted the only goal of the game on nine minutes when Morecambe keeper Stuart Moore cleared a backpass straight into his path and he kept his cool to slot the ball into the empty net.
Courtney Baker-Richardson then wasted the chance to double the lead after poking the ball wide from close range before the Shrimps dominated the remainder of the half.
Gwion Edwards was denied a leveller by a superb Nick Townsend save when he somehow tipped over a close-range effort from the Shrimps’ winger.
Morecambe thought they had levelled on 53 minutes when Hallam Hope converted from close range only to see his effort ruled out for offside.
The home side continued to press and Townsend had to be at his best again with a flying save from Callum Jones’s free-kick.
Morecambe continued to press and Rhys Williams went close in the 86th minute but the Exiles held on for their third win of the season.
