Town's title challenge was hampered in Cardiff last Saturday, although they remain top of the table on goal difference after Taffs Well's emphatic 4 – 1 win away at Haverfordwest on Easter Monday. On a narrow pitch which restricted any real raids down the flanks, the game was squeezed into the midfield areas and Caerau's tricky midfielders got the better of it in the early parts of the game. But Town grew into it with MacDonald more influential and Harrhy having another good centre forward's game. MacDonald tested the home keeper with a number of efforts including a rasping drive which was tipped over and a couple of headed changes went harmlessly wide or over. Against the run of play however Caerau took the lead on 37 minutes as an attack down the left took an age to deliver a telling cross and Blackburn was wrong footed with the finish. Town came out of the blocks much quicker in the second half perhaps with a Jenkins rocket spurring them on and almost immediately drew level as a superb cross from Evans was expertly dispatched by Harrhy's stooping header. From here it looked most likely that the Kingfishers would go on to win comfortably but disaster struck as a mix up in defence allowed a lone striker to beat Blackburn to the ball and poke it past him. Town never really recovered and although some marauding runs from Lee and MacDonald invariably ended by niggling fouls the title favourites could not rustle up the momentum they needed to snatch anything from the game as Caerau defend well and always looked like they may unpick any over ambition. Monmouth's fate remains in the club's own hands however, starting with a visit to current champions, relegation haunted West End on Saturday. Now there is no room for any slip ups.
