Adam Campbell blasts Notts County to victory over young Blackburn Rovers side

Newcastle United loanee Adam Campbell proves the difference as his bullet strike helps Notts County to a 1-0 win over a young Blackburn Rovers side at Meadow Lane.

Notts County have picked up a 1-0 victory over an experimental Blackburn Rovers side in their final outing before the start of the League One season.

The visitors fielded their Under-23s side at Meadow Lane, having used the main core of the first-team squad in Saturday's home meeting with Girona.

Faissal El Bakhtaoui almost opened the scoring for County early on when skimming the roof of the net with his volley, while Lewis Mansell prodded wide from a Rovers corner.

It was County who would open the scoring 27 minutes in when Adam Campbell - on loan from Newcastle United - brought down a cross and rifled the ball in off the underside of the opposition bar.

There was almost an unfortunate moment for summer signing Adam Collin, who very nearly turned the ball into his own net after some smart play out wide.

Curtis Thompson had a goal ruled out in the second half due to a foul, but in the end it mattered little as the hosts held on for the win in their final warm-up match before the real business gets underway next weekend.
