Two goals in the first two minutes set Newark on their way to their fourth victory of the season against Thorne Colliery.
Their opponents eventually settled and caused the Blues problems in defence, but goalkeeper Liam Needham was in fine form as they earned a much needed three points.
Newark started the game at lightning pace, scoring after just 19 seconds when Jammy Lloyd played a through ball to Adam Boddy.
The initial shot was well saved, but the ball rolled out to Joe Powell who completed an easy tap-in to give them the lead.
Two minutes later, the advantage was doubled, Adam Boddy rising highest from a Jordan Cummings cross to clinically head in from close range.
Thorne were caught cold, and could have been three goals down when Craig Roche saw his placed effort strike the post from the edge of the area.
Their South Yorkshire opponents needed a response, and they got back into the match on 12 minutes Darren Fell scoring from 20 yards.
Needham had to be on hand to maintain the lead, producing a number of fine saves in the first-half to keep Town in front.
Newark also had chances to increase their lead, but Powell saw a shot saved while Sam Wilford's follow up was beaten over.
Injuries to Adie Hillier and the impressive Jordan Cummings proved a blow to Newark, with both players being replaced during the first 45 minutes.
The second-half started in a similar vein to the first, although this time it took four minutes for Newark to add to their total as a cross from Sam Wilford was easily headed in from close-range by Joe Brumpton.
However seven minutes later Thorne were back in it as Jammy Lloyd’s under strength header back to Needham was intercepted, allowing Fell to add his second.
There were fewer chances for both sides later in the second-half, but substitute Tyler Martin did go close with two efforts.
Liam Needham was called into action to save another one-on-one with 15 minutes remaining.
Martin had the game's final chance as he rounded the goalkeeper, only to see his shot strike the post and run clear.
