Caldicot Town Upcoming Fixtures
FAW Welsh Cup 2nd Preliminary draw
We have been drawn away in the FAW Welsh cup 2nd Preliminary round against Pontarddulais Town. The winner of this tie will advance through to the 1st round proper of the competition. Presently the fixture is due to be played on Saturday 22nd August, and replaces the league fixture against Cwmbran Town which will be moved to later in the season.
Upcoming @ Jubilee Way
This coming Saturday see's us face Talbot Green in the FAW Amateur Trophy. After a good start to the season where we have faced Longford in the first preliminary round of the Welsh Cup, a closely fought encounter where a first half goal from Ben Donoghue, and a second half strike from Cole Greenhaf put Town ahead before a late goal from the visitors made things interesting at the end.
A quick turnaround to last Tuesday saw us home again in our opening league fixture against Lliswerry. The visitors saw red in the first halfas Dale Cooke was given a straight red for a nasty challenge on Lewis Grant, a tackle that saw Grant having to leave the field just 5 mins later. A cagey affair ensued as the visitors looked to hit Town on the counter attack where at the other end it was frustration as chance after chance slipped by with the game heading for a goalless draw.
That was until the 93rd minute when Sam Swann beat the offside and found space before beating his man and pulling his cross back for Cole Greenhaf to place his shot into the bottom left hand corner, beating Luca Bullock who was having an impressive game until that point. Lliswerry will feel hard done by in coming away with nothing in a match where the red card proved pivotal.
Caldicot's next league fixture will be a home match on the 8th August against Blaenavon Blues

Club AGM
The Annual General Meeting was held last night 1st July at the club. Membership will be due as of the 1st of August with prices remaining as they were last year.
A membership will start for the full year when renewed and for any new membership purchased at any time from the 1st August 2026, the full year will now run from that date, so as an example, a new membership is purchased in October, a full year will start from that date which is a change to the current system where the new member would only get 10 months membership.
