Monmouth Town's Jekyll and Hyde season continued last Saturday (12th March) with an impressive five-nil win at in-form Treowen Stars.
The Kingfishers' inconsistency has somewhat halted their promotion push of late, seeing them drop to sixth place after the previous week's disastrous performance against Pontyclun.
The Town have certainly gained many admirers this season with their pace and passing abilities, but opposition also know that their Achilles heel is their inability to keep goals out at the other end.
The town travelled to Treowen without club captain Andrew Smith, who looks to be out for the rest of the season with knee cartilage trouble.
The co-managers made a couple of changes to the Pontyclun episode with Sam Palmer returning on the left flank for McCoy and a first team debut was handed to Fred Haney, who replaced Smith in the centre of midfield.
There was also a return for James Hughes, who started on the substitutes' bench.
The opening five minutes was a cagey affair as both sides eyed each other up and tried to work out each other's formations.
The first real talking point came after seven minutes, when a long ball evaded both centre halves resulting in the home striker running towards goal.
