Ardal League South East
Saturday 9th November 2024 - Cwm Nant-Y-Groes Ko 2.00pm
Abertillery Bluebirds 2 - 6 Caldicot Town
A trip to away to face Abertillery Bluebirds is very often a daunting one although last Saturday was a different story. Having been relegated from the Cymru South last season, it is clear to see that the Bluebirds are rebuilding with only a few players from their Ardal South East promotion winning season remain. Town on the other hand are really looking strong as the squads injury woes have started to subside and returning to the bench was Matt James who suffered an achilles injury early this year. Sam Swann also returned to the starting line-up having returned as a substitute in Towns last game which was a 0-0 draw at home to Croesyceiliog.
One of the highlights of the whole match however was a 20 minute hatrick from Nero Gowran. The Norwegian looked a class act and started the goal fest after just 7 minutes, meeting a great Sam Swann cross from the right hand side with his head. Nero then added a second just minutes later to put Town in dreamland although the bubble was burst on 13 minutes when an in swinging corner beat everyone to go in after a valiant effort from Matt Swann to keep it out. Town did not have to wait to long to get their two goal lead as Gowran bagged his hatrick after good work from Ngunjoh.
There was a good flow to the game and on the half hour mark, the home side were back in business. A free kick was awarded down the Bluebirds right hand side and the resulting delivery was powerfully met by stalwart, Michael Vagg to make it 2 - 3. Town once again powered forward and Ngunjoh was causing the home defence some trouble with a powerful run before unleashing a thunderbolt that hit the post. Ben Donoghue was then on the score sheet once more after Sam Swann again provided an assist for the youngster who smashed in his shot to make it 2 - 4 at the break
The second half saw Town score after just two minutes of the restart with Ngunjoh tapping in from close range after Ben Burns assisted. A perfect start and something that kept the normally rowdy home support quiet. A flurry of substitutions would follow after 60 minutes with the home team looking for inspiration, whilst Town could start to give the wider squad a run out having built up a cushion. Ngunjoh and Gowran were replaced by Ben Smith and Lyes Mihoubi, before Matt James hit the field replacing Lewis Grant on 78 minutes. With Caldicot managing the game well, it was fitting that Town would grab the last goal of the game when Jake Davies crossed for Ben Burns to power home a header to make it 2-6.
An impressive win and performance, much improved from the goal less draw served up against Croesyceiliog. The next fixture is due to be Chepstow Town on Saturday 16th at Jubilee Way. We are awaiting confirmation from the league that the fixture will still be held as it falls on the day after we see our Reserve Team captain, Simon "Chip" Crook laid the rest. We have asked for a postponement decision to be confirmed.
Ardal League Reserve League South East
Saturday 9th November 2024 - Jubilee Way Ko 2.00pm
Caldicot Town Reserves 3 - 0 Abertillery Bluebirds Reserves
Caldicot Reserves moved into second place in the table where they now sit just three point of the leaders, Abergavenny Town. With the first team away at Abertillery, the Reserves took center stage at Jubilee Way and were out to keep up their recent good form. After an early enforced substitution for the visitors, it was not until the 21st minute that Town would take the lead through Ethan Bowles who scored after a Conner Reece assist. As the end of the half approached, Tucker-Dixon kept up his recent goal scoring form making it 2-0 after being once again assisted by Gabbiadini.
The second half saw the score remained the same which allowed Jeremiah to make some changes with Creasey replacing Edwards and Watkins replacing Windsor. Just a minute later the Reserves found the third and wrapped up the points when Bowles assisted for Gabbiadini to make it three nil. A comfortable lead allowed more players to get some game time as Kew, Collett and Alexander replaced Bowles, Reece and Tucker-Dixon.
The fixture this coming Friday the 15th has been rescheduled due the funeral of Simon "Chip" Crook.
Monmouthshire Windows League Division 1
Saturday 9th November 2024 - Caldicot Castle Ko 14.15pm
Caldicot Castle 2 - 3 Caldicot Town
Caldicot Town thirds made it a clean sweep on Saturday after the boys got their first league win of the season. Joshua Lee opened the scoring on 25 minutes before McCluskey equalised from the spot after the break to make it 1-1. Town hit back just four minutes later when James Stevens crossed for Tom Wetter to make it 2-1. Town then got a cushion after James Pinnell made it 3-1 before McCluskey scored from the spot once more on 73 minutes to make it 3-2 to Caldicot Town. A few more substitutions were made but Town held out for a much deserved three points. Well done to all the players and coaches who have had a tough start to the campaign.
Next up for the Thirds is an away trip to face Thornwell scheduled for the 23rd November.

Caldicot Town Darts Team
As you will have noticed, we have been refurbishing part of the main room and have installed two new dartboards. After Christmas, we will be looking to recruit members who are interested in playing in a local darts league. The winter league has just started and so we are aiming to have one, possibly two teams in time for April 2025.
League requirements are to have a practice board and a match board. Minimum number of players per team is 5. Our aim is to increase trade during quiet midweek nights at the club where not all of our members are interested in football!
Watch this space for details in the new year on how to register your interest in representing the club at Darts. Players must be members.
