Monmouth RFC's first team and Druids cup matches, versus Bala and Crickhowell respectively, have been postponed. The former has been rearranged for this Saturday.

The Youth team did, however, manage to honour an away friendly against Newport Saracens, and although they lost, they acquitted themselves well against a team in a far higher league than theirs.

In fact, had they not lost a player to a questionable red card just after half-time, they might very well have won, but instead succumbed to three late tries, in a lively game that was played in surprisingly good conditions – atmospherically and underfoot – at Tredegar Park.
