Druids crush Caldicot

The new rugby season got underway for Monmouth Druids with a resounding victory over Caldicot. To make their 42 points to nil win all the more emphatic, it was achieved on opposition territory. The success was very satisfactory for the Druids, if only for the manner of their defeat in the last match between the two sides.

Fielding a strong unit with an experienced bench, the visitors looked to have a good mix of talent with some promise for the new campaign.

Good League Start

The blue sky and laundered grass promised a running game and after 8 tries as well as 8 changes of lead over the 80 minutes, no supporters present could say it had not been entertaining.
