Monmouth Town's Kingfishers, sponsored by WyeMedia, extended their lead at the top of Welsh League Division Two to a massive 13 points with a comfortable victory over third-placed Swansea side Garden Village, who had travelled looking to gain revenge for a five-nil opening day defeat.

Prior to kick off, the teams and supporters had observed a minute's silence in tribute to Wales team manager Gary Speed but once the game was underway it was hard to keep up with the opening 15 minutes.

Garden Village took the lead after four minutes, breaking up a soporific move by Town and galloping through relatively unopposed to round Pass and slot into an empty net.

The joy was short lived as Elliot Ford went through less than minute later to fire home, before MacDonald scored his 34th of the season then Ford posted a three-one lead by the time the 15 were up.

Bowen completed the scoring on 43 minutes after Palmer had contrived to miss from two inches, fired straight at the keeper barely two minutes later and seen a number of other efforts spurned.
