Monmouth Town continued their unbeaten start to life in Division Two but lost their 100 per cent record after being held to a two-two draw with fourth placed Caerleon at the Sports Ground on Saturday (29th October).

The visitors arrived having only lost once in seven outings and having conceded a miserly two goals in the process, while the Kingfishers had amassed 42 goals themselves so this was billed as an intriguing contest.

The game started slowly as both sides looked to eye up their opponents before grabbing a foothold in the game. It was the home side that started to gain momentum with numerous corners and free kicks probing the home goal.

The Town suffered a set back after 15 minutes when last season's top scorer Matthew Bowen landed awkwardly and had to leave the field of play with an ankle injury, which could force him out for a few weeks.

This resulted in skipper Alderdice moving to the centre forward position and Kennedy coming into the centre of defence.

The Town continued to grab a foothold in the game and started putting the visiting defence under more pressure.

Elliot Ford had a chance to open the scoring but his first touch took him away from goal and made the angle easier for Blackburn in the Caerleon goal to pull off a good save to his right.

The speedy winger made amends just three minutes later.
