Monmouth have started the season well and now have another win to celebrate, scoring 20-5 pts at home against St Joseph's of Cardiff's in this Precision Engineering sponsored SWALEC league match.
Within three minutes of the start the referee blew for the first of many penalties at a ruck which Monmouth's fly-half Dave Croudace was to miss, despite good kicking conditions, but he and his opposite number were to miss several more. The game was distractingly punctuated by the whistle for much of the first half as the referee tried to get both teams playing an open and fast game.
