In the last game of 2013, Monmouth U14s team visited Chepstow Town B, a team firmly rooted to the bottom of the table.

On a pitch that showed more resemblance to a farmer's ploughed field than a sports ground, the young Kingfishers at first struggled to play quality football, but soon realised they would need to pass the ball around if they wanted to make headway.

The defensive quartet of Lewis Griffin, Bailey Grant, Luke Brookes and Ted Heyes backed by Charlie Cooke in goal had very little to do at the back and were looking to get forward at every opportunity, while the midfield of Lewis Davies, Nathan Powell, Henry Williams, Jack O'nions and Aaron Jones (returning to the squad for the first time this season)  ensured that any attempt from Chepstow to pick up the ball in the middle of the park was quickly extinguished, and looked to put the Kingfisher strike duo of Sam Vaughan and Kerry Powell in on goal, time and time again.

At the final whistle the score was 1-14 with scorers spread throughout the Monmouth team, Vaughan (4), Kerry Powell (4), Nathan Powell (2), Davies (2), Williams and Griffin, with the two most noteworthy being a rocket from Griffin from 20 yards out, taken first time into the bottom corner leaving the Chepstow keeper with no chance, and an equally thunderous shot from Davies into the roof of the net after a strong run into the box from wide on the right.

The Monmouth Town team end the year showing a new confidence in themselves and a capability to score goals that had previously seemed to elude them.

Monmouth U16s were second game on the chippy pitch and a combination of the overnight rain and being second game of the day made for a very tricky playing surface, but this did not stop the Monmouth team playing the better football against Mardy.

Four goals from Scott Davies and one each from Sam Oxley, Mitchell Prosser, Brad Bradley, Alex Cleaves and Henry Corcoran gave the Monmouth team a resounding 9-1 victory
