Monmouth Tigers took to the road for the first time in 2012 with a trip up the Hill to Talywain. This is the first time the two sides have met for a few years but history suggested a tough and physical game lay in wait from this close knit outfit from the Hills above Pontypool.

Tries: Brown 3
Conv: Bell Thomas

A squad of 18 Monmouth Bears made the short trip to Usk on a beautiful morning made for rugby. The hosts were a player short, so it was agreed to play 9-a-side, with the Monmouth boys split into two teams of equal ability, playing half a game each.

Tries: Josh Lewis (3) Alastair McIntosh (2) Will Ruck (2) Ben Pilot (2) Roderick Ho, Raphael Kefalas, Jonny Snell & Sam Hughes

Player of the Week: Brian Rowlands

Hopefully the 16 who represented the Warriors today will remain positive and take something from todays game.

Monmouth Crusaders (under 13’s) hosted a very strong Talywain side at home last Sunday (22nd Jan) ant Chippeham Fields, and almost overcame their tough valley rivals for the first time in many years. In previous seasons Talywain have easily come out on top of the matches, but last weekend was to be a much closer fought contest.

Tries: Rhys Carlton (2), Tom Watkins
Conv: Louis MacFarlane (2)

Tries: Louis Rennie, Jordan Holder, Zak Williams (2), Chris Cornfield-hunt (2), Jordan Thomas, Ashley Murphy, Milan Wagner, Callum Sanders (2)
Conv: Jordan Holder, Zak Williams, Pete Saran

Monmouth Tigers entertained local rivals Abergavenny on Chippenham Fields. This has proven to be a tightly contested fixture during the last few seasons and this week’s game lived up to the history.
