Honours even in thrilling match against Old Monmothians

March 20, 2023

The honours were shared in this much-anticipated annual football match between Monmouth School for Boys’ 1st XI and the Old Monmothians.
The 1st XI hit back to draw level at 2-2 and then missed a late penalty in last Saturday’s entertaining contest against a strong Old Monmothians side.
The annual fixture between current and former pupils is always a highlight in the school’s football calendar.
The 1st XI started on the front foot and deservedly took the lead with a header from Noah.
However, the old boys settled into the contest and then struck twice – through Seb Lawson and Sam Swingwood – to open up a 2-1 advantage.
Luke equalised for the 1st XI before they then missed a penalty, which would have given the hosts a hard-fought win.
