Jake Williams went over in the corner for their next try with Dan Dunmore following him over to make the score 24-8 at the interval.

But Monmouth increased their lead further when Joe Light went over with Senior kicking well.

Senior scored a try of his own under the sticks and easily converted before Zac Williams, then Jake Williams added further tries, Jake picking up the ball well from a crossfield kick.

Senior dropped the ball over the goal for the final conversion, and move of the game to complete the scoring.
