Crusaders, with another win this week 
What a start to the season...

The coaches have been asking you to make that next step take it to the next level, and today, you've done that 👍 

The pods worked, the ball out wasn't rushed, and the decision-making was brilliant again. Great captain work, Olly B 

5 mins in penalty to Monmouth, 
good thinking by Olly B and FWM to take the 3 points 
FWM easy - 3 nil Monmouth.

Monmouth then put on the pressure for the next 5 to 10 mins and took advantage when Matty H made a great run offloaded to Boden, and the Wizard runs over to score. Unfortunately, the conversation was missed. 

Then Ebbw Vale came back, and they came back strong 

2 tries in 10 mins Monmouth coaches starting to panic......

Half time comes at a good time for Monmouth, 12 -8 Ebbw Vale 

Second half Monmouth come out strong 
Maybe to strong one Yellow card, one Red card (red to Ebbw vale) 

Monmouth then takes control, Josh (The Tank) breaks the game line, beats one beats two and over, he goes for try number two, conversation missed by stand in kicker Olly E,  with FWM injured. 

Monmouth keep the pressure on and keep working their forwards. Thankfully, we win a well-deserved penalty....up steps Olly E, he takes a few steps back, a few steps to the left, runs up.................
And another 3 points to Monmouth. 

16 - 12 to Monmouth 

5 minutes to go and with Monmouth coaches  screaming, slow it down, take your time,no rush!
Is transferred to the team, and it works to perfection

Ebbw Vale line out near the Monmouth 22, the ball is thrown in, Shay steals it, ball passed back and kicked out thankfully.....final whistle goes!

Crusaders win 🏆 16 - 12
