One each from Carl Owen and Danny Desormeaux was enough to see off the Robins and Harrison was delighted.
“That’s two on the bounce and two clean sheets,” he said.
“Now we’ve got two or three games where we feel can pick up points, then we have tough matches against Neath and Llanelli.
“I think if we keep progressing we can be a top eight side.”
The Wingmakers had the benefit of the wind at their backs in the first period but made heavy weather of breaking down Newtown’s stubborn defence.
Robins’ defender Andrew Thomas was lucky to escape a penalty appeal on 16 minutes when he appeared to control the ball with his arm.
Referee Mark Whitby missed that but saw something nobody else managed to four minutes later.
A miss-kick from Ross Stephens sent the ball spinning to keeper David Maguire, who collected, only for Whitby to adjudge it a back-pass.
The resulting free-kick was wasted by Giovanni Feliciello.
On 35 minutes lively Carl Owen broke the deadlock when Marc Lloyd-Williams’ corner was headed back across goal by Woodward and he stole in to poke home.
Lloyd-Williams should have scored after showing great individual skill to turn Gavin Cadwallader but shot wide with just Maguire to beat.
With 68 minutes gone Lloyd-Williams should have completed the best move of the match.
Owen moved the ball to Desormeaux, who spread it wide for Ryan Edwards to cross to the back post where Lloyd-Williams looped a header over Maguire and off the top of the crossbar.
Newtown looked for the equaliser but were sunk in the final minute.
Desormeaux latched onto a quick ball out of defence and slid past Maguire from 25 yards to seal the points.
