Craig Harris, Steve White and Marc Browning all starting. Blues began slowly and Abercarn took an early lead. After thirty minutes of pressure Blues started to enjoy some possession of their own, Harris set up Craig Tanner who was denied by an excellent save by United’s keeper. 16.02.13 Almost immediately Brownings through ball found Tanner, again the keeper made a great stop. It wasn’t all Blues and Matt Cox made a great tackle to stop Abercarn increasing their lead. With half time looming Abercarn hit the post and the Blues went in at the break one goal down. 1 214 Blues took the game to Abercarn in the second half and equalised when the excellent Mike Waite released Tanner down the left flank, his pin point cross enabled White to plant a rare header into the Abercarn net. New signing Lee Penry came off the bench and immediately set up Waite with a clever through ball, Waites’ first effort was cleared off the line £1183 and when the rebound came back to him, his shot was scrambled away by the over-run United defence. Waite again tested the home defence, volleying into the side netting and No Winner again, after winning a tackle, narrowly shooting over the bar. With time running out Blues produced the move of the match. Tanner, Browning and Waite combined to put Penry through on goal, his shot was again well saved by the home keeper. £1283 Cox was the pick of Blues defenders, ably assisted by Lee Wathen, Grant Evans, Richard Williams and keeper Lee Jones. The midfield of Waite, Tanner, Browning and Jamie Brankley worked tirelessly, whilst up front Govilon Harris, Penry and White were a constant threat to the home defence.

The fi rst team are in the Gwent County Division One and play on Cwmbran Park which is a superb pitch with great facilities. The second and third teams host their opponents at Southfi elds pitches and both play in the Newport & District Leagues In 2010, Coed Eva Athletic started rebuiding a youth structure which is growing rapidly and proving to be a great success. The aim is to have the age groups from 6 to 16 year olds who will they progress towards the senior teams. The clubs website is run by Shane Burchell and was set up in season 2007/2008, it provides information you need about the various aspects of the club, including fi xtures, leagues, results, players, the committee, the clubs history and links to other teams.
