One clash.
McCoubrey’s first-half brace put the visitors 2-0 in front at the interval, his second being the pick of the goals, a superb finish from a very tight angle after rounding the Trafalgar keeper.
Dan Freer’s penalty, after Ricky Nock’s fine run had been halted by a foul, looked to have handed Newlands control early in the second half, but Traf had other ideas as their former manager Liam Salt smashed in two quick goals to make it 3-2.
Freer headed his second of the game to restore Newlands’ grip on the game and a Ryan Rivis double made it 6-2 before McCoubrey completed his hat-trick.
Joe Hakings awarded the man of the match award to his entire team for an excellent all-round display against their title rivals.

Ten minutes into the second half good play on right teed up Sean Rowley to fire the leveller into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
Bar then appealed for a spot-kick when a home defender appeared to slap the ball away in his area.
The villagers then played a long ball over the top, and although Roscoes appealed that the attacking player was offside, the hosts scored to go in front.
With 20 minutes left a freekick saw the wind take it over the Bar keeper and the home striker tapped in at back post.
Roscoes Bar boss Lee Paterson said: “I am disappointed as we controlled the game for long periods but didn’t take our chances and made crucial mistakes.
“Gary Hepples played well for us.”
