A third league fixture in a row away from home for Caldicot who travelled to the Memorial ground, the home of Blaenavon Blues. Having played eleven, winning two, drawing two and losing seven, this game at least on paper looked winnable for Town who were coming off the back of a 2-1 away win at Treharris last week. Sandiford started in goal with Lewis Grant and Matt Swann at fullbacks and Burns and Edwards at centre half positions. The midfield was made up from Sharratt, Davies, Gowran and Donoghue, whilst Smith and Ngunjoh started up front. 

The first half was attritional to say the least with neither side able to string many passes together, or create any meaningful chances. A 12th minute injury to Jones from Blaenavon saw Archer take his place as both sides struggled to impose any dominance on the game. A series of corners for Blaenavon were seen off although the home side seemed to have more joy in the air and looked a threat from set piece. Caldicot looked to counter with breakouts from Ngunjoh and Nero Gowran who started the game after the influential Sam Swann was ruled out after picking up an injury in the Treharris game. Swann's playmaking in the midfield was missed as Town were unable to find the cutting edge needed to break the deadlock.

Half-time: Blaenavon Blues 0 - 0 Caldicot Town

The second half was more of the same as again both sides lacked the quality to find a breakthrough in the last quarter of the pitch. That was until the 60th minute when the deadlock was broken when the home team scored through Bailey Perry who got on the end of a cross from Caddick to put the Blues one up. This stirred Caldicot into action and just two minutes later, Caldicot found an equaliser through the in form Ben Donoghue who smashed the ball into the Blues net with his left foot after being set up by Jake Davies to make it one each.

Caldicot manager Tony Wallis then made a couple of changes in the hope that Town would push on for the win where both Lyes Mihoubi and Sam Watkins returning from injuries replaced Gowran and Smith. Unfortunately the game continued on and was a frustrating watch as neither side had any flow and where creativity was sadly lacking. Donoghue picked up a yellow on the 86th minute for dissent before Caldicot had a lucky escape with just minutes remaining when a long throw was launched into the Town area and was headed in but the throw was deemed illegal by the referees assistant who had noted the thrower was stood well over the touchline and raised his flag. The official, Terry Leonard having blown his whistle before the ball hit the back of the net, gave Town a reprieve.

In summary, a share of the points was about right. Not a great game to watch in my opinion as both teams failed to show quality in front of goal. Town are on their travels again this coming Friday night where they make the trip to the Pen-Y-Pound stadium where they face Abergavenny. Kick off will be 7.45pm
