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.

County Borough of Caerphilly
November 2020 Summary Full report and maps: https://ldbc.gov.wales/ @LDBCW This document is available in Welsh County Borough of Caerphilly Summary of Final Recommendations Who we are : The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales is an independent Welsh Government Sponsored Body. It was established under the Local Democracy (Wales) Act 2013 with the main purpose of publishing a programme of work which keeps under review the electoral arrangements for the 22 principal councils. The Commission makes electoral review recommendations, which it feels are in the interest of effective and convenient local government. This review has been conducted as a result of the former Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government’s Written Statement of 23 June 2016 as part of an all Wales review programme for the 2022 local government elections. © Crown copyright and database rights [2020] OS [100047875] Summary of our Recommendations: The Commission recommends a council of 69 members, a reduction from the present 73 members. The Commission recommends a change to the arrangement of electoral wards that will achieve a marked improvement in the level of electoral parity across the County Borough of Caerphilly. The Commission recommends 30 electoral wards, a reduction from 33 existing wards. The largest under-representation is recommended to be 24% above the proposed county average in Aberbargoed and Bargoed. The largest over-representation is recommended to be 20% below the proposed county average in Aber Valley. The Commission is recommending 25 multi-member wards consisting of 12 two- member electoral wards; 12 three-member electoral wards; and one four-member electoral ward.
