Ten days previously the warm up for the game in Chepstow took place in a snowy blizzard. Last Saturday the return league game was played in beautiful sunny conditions on a daffodil-lined Chippenham field.

Monmouth started well and were soon on the attack in the Chepstow twenty two. Number eight Tom Stone picked up and drove into the middle of the field, then there was good handling along the backline out to Max Waters on the right wing, who finished strongly to score in the corner.
