Monmouth Town's Kingfishers rounded off a superb start to the season with another two wins to keep top spot and maintain their 100 per cent start to life in Division Two.

Last Wednesday (17th August), Monmouth Town took the first leg of the Monmouthshire derby against relegated Caldicot Town and laid down a marker for the rest of the division in the process.

Promoted as Division Three champions, they have taken to life in the second division like Kingfishers to sticklebacks and maintained their 100 per cent start to the season with a solid performance punctuated by some great passages of play against opponents who themselves don't look in too bad a shape for the season ahead.

The game was a far different proposition to last Saturday's and opened in typically robust Gwent fashion; fast, direct and on a surface more suited to chasing eggs.

Caldicot got the better of the early exchanges as the Kingfishers defence looked out of shape and off the pace.
