  • Association Football Has Long Been the Dominant Sport in the Lower Reaches of the Sirhowy Valley
    THE HISTORY OF ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL IN YNYSDDU AND CWMFELINFACH (REVISED JULY 2012) Association football has long been the dominant sport in the lower reaches of the Sirhowy Valley. Geographically, the main catchment area is from Pontllanfraith, south-east to Wattsville in the county borough of Caerphilly. This comprises of the two larger villages of Cwmfelinfach and Ynysddu, together with the three smaller villages of Gelligroes, Wyllie and Brynawel. To fully understand the present structure of the club, it is important to go back to the turn of the 20th century, when football first started in this area, at the same time as the opening of the many collieries, and locally, the most significant of which was Nine Mile Point (initially called Coronation Colliery). Situated between Brynawel and Cwmfelinfach, owners Burnyeat & Brown sunk the first shaft in 1902. The first football club, initially called Ynysddu Albion, was founded by Mary Jane Gilchrist, the local midwife, in July 1905, later ratified by a general meeting in the Black Prince public house at Ynysddu, in October of that year. An article in the South Wales Argus, stated that five sons of Mrs Gilchrist took part in their first game. Unfortunately, fixtures and results for this initial period cannot be accounted for. A number of other local teams were also formed although the ‘Albion’ were regarded as the main club, becoming one of the founder members of the Monmouthshire Senior League in 1907 (four years before the foundation of the Monmouthshire County Football Association). The ‘senior’ team would play its fixtures in the ‘Mon Senior’ and Sirhowy leagues, whilst other teams of various names would play in the Newport & District and ‘West Mon’ leagues.

BTP CSO’s took undertook a series of initiatives in-order to tackle the crimes. Each day whilst on patrol, they attached a laminated note to the cycles warning owners of the cycle thefts taking place. They ensured the station CCTV was pointing at the racks where possible.

With an increasingly onerous funding environment, the need to rationalise our estate and ensure that retained buildings are efficiently utilised and properly maintained is more important than ever. This property review report provides a succinct overview and record of what is a very large and diverse property portfolio. It also presents some key metrics, summarises recent progress made and sets out some of the challenges that lie ahead. The delivery of several superb new buildings, all designed by Property Services, and the associated closure of ageing assets has lifted the quality of the estate. Whilst much has been achieved over recent years, there remains significant scope to further rationalise the estate and dispose of surplus assets. The next phase of the Welsh Government 21st Century Schools initiative, Band B, provides further opportunity to improve our school buildings.
