Monmouth Town striker Matthew Bowen claimed his second hat-trick of the season to claim the scalp of former League of Wales champions Cwmbran Town.

Two-nil up after just eight minutes and cruising three-nil at half time, the Kingfishers had comprehensively outgunned their more illustrious opponents with a display that brought more than a hint of déjà vu from the win at Spytty park the previous Saturday.

Once again Elliot Ford was to the fore, taunting the Crows back line and putting in a number of superb crosses that the home defence had no answer for.

Bowen had turned two of those crosses in when Ford and Bowen went hunting down a hesitant back line after 32 minutes, harrying them into a mistake that Bowen calmly slotted home.
