Welcome to our Club
Latest News
Another great weekend for our senior teams that started at Jubilee Way on Saturday where the first team faced Goytre and trailed at the break but came out firing in the second half which saw the lads win 2 - 1 thanks to two more goals from hot-shot striker, Ben Donoghue.
The Reserves faced Undy away who are giving some of their first team players match fitness as they do not play for a few weekends in their bid for survival. Trailing by an own goal, Town left it as late as the 94th minute to find an equaliser through Tobias Prettyjohn.
On to the thirds who faced a daunting trip to the Castle in the semi-final of the Benevolent cup. Already in one final, the thirds were hungry for more and although they trailed at the break, Callum Watkins equalised for Caldicot in the 72md minute. Castle then had McCluskey sent off as the game came to an end, sending both teams into extra-time. With the match all square, penalties ensued and it was keeper, Richard Beach who would be Caldicot's hero as he took one and scored as well as saving three penalties to take Town into another final.

Ardal League South East
Saturday 22 March 2025 - Jubilee Way Ko 14.30pm
Caldicot Town 2 - 1 Goytre AFC
After last weeks disappointing result to Risca, Town bounced back with a strong performance against a strong Goytre side. With the visitors currently sitting 7th in the table, they have 6 games in hand over table topping Treowen and therefore can still impact how things will end up, especially when they have to play Chepstow twice who are currently sitting second. Caldicot slipped to a 3 - 0 loss at Plough road a few months back and were determined to put that right in this game.
With Sandiford in goal, the rest of the defence was made up of Watkins at left back, MJ and Burns centre halves and Grant at right back. Edwards, Sharratt, Swann and Davies were holding the middle whilst Smith and Donoghue started up front leaving a strong bench that included Ngunjoh, Greenhaf, Bowles and Beach.
With both sides looking to dominate, the defensive and midfield battles would be crucial. Both teams were physical and robust in defending set pieces, with both sides struggling to make any clear headway early on. It took until the 38th minute before the deadlock was broken, and it was the visitors who found the net when Jac Evans scored from a Maguire assist. This was enough to give the visitors a half-time lead which they just about deserved.
The second half saw Town come out all guns blazing as the home side started to dominate the midfield, creating several chances. Massaro in the Goytre goal pulled off a cracking reflex save and another goal line clearance prevented Town getting an equaliser. Changes were made as Greenhaf, who could consider himself unlucky not to start, replaced Edwards and Ngunjoh replaced Smith, who was unlucky to come off without having scored himself. With just a minute after coming on, Ngunjoh showed great feet and worked the ball to Donoghue who finished to make it 1 - 1.
The crowd could sense the massive swing in the way the game was going and it was a Jubilee Way crowd at it's best, willing the ball in the net. Donoghue was then played through by Swann but the prolific scorer was thwarted again by Massaro in the Goytre goal. The Town midfield were superb and were winning second ball time and time again as the Goytre defence creaked under the pressure. Decisions and frustration was mounting in the Goytre side as Chris Ham picked up a Yellow and Meechan followed him in minutes later.
With just minutes remaining, Town were encamped in the Goytre half where you could feel something was going to happen, another chance, a goal that would send the crowd wild. in the 89th minute it came. After some great perseverance, Jake Davies crossed for Donoghue who waited an eternity for it to land on his head, the forward mustering as much power he could to guide the ball into the bottom corner to make it 2 - 1. A great effort and a much deserved win for Caldicot who find themselves in third place in the table.
Town's home games continue next Saturday when Brecon Corries come to Jubilee Way for a 2.30pm Ko. Thank you for all your support, lets go again #UTT
FAW Reserve League South East
Saturday 22 March 2025 - The Causeway Ko 14:00pm
Undy AFC Reserves 1 - 1 Caldicot Town Reserves
A hard earned point was gained at the Causeway by the Reserves who found themselves a goal down at the break after Gethin Foster found his own net. A flurry of yellows at the start of the second half saw players from both sides in the book and with both sides making changes to try and impact the game, it did look like Undy were going to hang on for a narrow victory until Tobias Prettyjohn found the equaliser having been assisted by James Pinnell to give both sides a share of the spoils.
The Reserves face Newport Corries at home this coming Wednesday under the lights. Ko 7pm
The Monmouthshire Windows Benevolent Cup Semi-final
Saturday 22 March 2025 - Castle Ko 1.15pm
Caldicot Castle 1 - 1 Caldicot Town 3rds (AET)
Penalties 2 - 3 Caldicot Town
A gutsy Caldicot performance against potential league winners, Caldicot Castle saw Town progress to the final of the Benevolent Cup where they will face Undy AFC. A first half goal from Butcher was enough to give the Castle the half-time lead which was eventually cancelled out when Callum Watkins equalised for Caldicot in the 72nd minute. Extra time and penalties loomed and the Castle did themselves no favours when McCluskey was red carded leaving his team a man short as they entered extra time.
No further goals were added so it was the dreaded penalties that saw O'Brien have his spot kicked saved but Beach in the Caldicot goal was adjudged to have moved off his line early. O'Brien made no mistake with the retake. Callum Watkins then scored his penalty before Butcher saw his saved by Beach. James Steven looked "Shakey" as he pulled his effort wide of the post, before Beach again pulled off a save. Beach then picked up the ball and slotted his penalty home against his great friend and former Town player, Dave Haywood. Andrews scored his effort for the Castle before Max Griffiths scored to put the pressure on the Castle's Leonard who saw his effort saved by Beach, the Town hero.
Two finals reached and league form improving, well done lads!
