Monmouth Town overcame a potential banana skin and secured their 10th win of the season with an emphatic eight-one win at basement club Treharris Athletic last Saturday (5th November).

The Town have now taken an incredible 31 points out of a possible 33 with 10 wins and one draw from 11 outings.

The Town arrived at Treharris with all the signs of a difficult encounter in front of them. The pitch resembled a postage stamp with grass that would have not been out of place in the deepest rough at the Celtic Manor golf resort.

The table toppers have grown in maturity over recent seasons and all were aware that the performance was not going to be one of the classiest displays, but one of grit and determination.

Town made a couple of changes with Craig Lewis replacing the injured Bowen up front and Lee Williams returning in goal for the absent Pass, who was supporting his girlfriend, taken into labour the night before.

Treharris knew their only real way to stop the Kingfisher juggernaut was to intimidate and try to ruffle the Kingfishers' feathers with some hard, robust and at times x-rated challenges.
