We're excited to share the start of our #ThrowbackThursday series! ππ°
Each week, we will feature snapshots from the Clubs past highlighting our connection in doing #whateverittakes to support Newport County youth's #greatfutures. With the start of our Winter Basketball Clinic on the horizon, these three shots felt like the perfect fit for the start of this series. π
