Goals from Chris Ham, Nick Harrhy and Eliot Evans (pictured) were enough to take all three points for the Kingfishers in a lack lustre game at Porth's Dinas Park.

The home side had lost all of their games so far this season, including their last encounter 9 – 0 so appear from a distance at least as a club in crisis and in desperate need of a lift.

Despite taking an early lead this wasn't to be the game that provided it and it was easy to see why. Town didn't have to work particularly hard for any territory or to create chances – so they didn't. Just fifteen minutes had elapsed and Chris Ham had managed to hit the bar twice, once more than Elliot Ford and Nick Harrhy had another couple of efforts denied.

On a rare foray into Monmouth's half a couple of slips let in the home side and after a bit of a melee they had taken a barely believable lead. It didn't last. First Chris Ham slotted home after easy work from Ford then Harrhy rounded the keeper to put Town ahead.

More chances came and went and although it was just a matter of time before the game was safe Porth still threatened on occasion while the Kingfishers did their best to make a game of it by passing up lots of chances and opportunities. Eliot Evans finally made it pipe and slippers time with a third on 68 minutes and that was that.

Town return to home action again next Saturday with League Cup game against second Division West End in a 2pm kick off at Penypound Stadium while the youth team are at home on Thursday evening at Penypound in a 7pm kick off.
