Saturday 14th September 2002 - the day the revolution started !!
20 Apr 2008

The club was started in 2002 initially as a vehicle to keep a bunch of 13 year olds out of trouble.Billy Nicholls and Rob Bailey grabbed the bull by the horns and attempted to pass on their considerable football knowledge onto these lads - how hard could it be ???

At the end of the first season we knew how hard it would be because we played 30 games,lost 30 games,scored 30 goals and conceded 353 goals!!

The lads loved it and bounced back for more every week so we embarked on coaching courses and made sure they enjoyed playing.No emphasis was placed on winning-just having fun-which was just as well!!

The lads were playing against teams that had been together for years and most of them had never played football before so teaching positions was entertaining.

Our second season was at Under 15 led to a marginal improvement as we played 27,lost 27,scored 22 but only conceded 248 - a 100 goal improvement!!

On 26 September 2004 something finally clicked.....we won our first game after 61 attempts!! We beat Caerphilly Cannons in the Cup 4-2 with Kristian Sullivan scoring a hat-trick.The event was covered by the South Wales Echo and even made the BBC website.

The following week - the same thing happened.... a win in the Cup!! we had finally turned the corner.....until Llantrisant beat us 11-1 in the league the next week!

Steady improvements were made and the third season ended with our first league point - played 26 won 2 drew 1 lost 23 scored 38 conceded 155 - another 100 goal improvement.

Our 4th season started with an unbeaten run of 4 league games and our first ever clean sheet - a coaches dream!!The team had definitely turned the corner and were combining having fun with playing good football.

By the end of the season they had played 25 won 6 drew 7 lost 12 scored 58 conceded 69 to finish a very respectable mid-table.

The club decided to take the players into the South Wales Youth League rather than expose them to senior football too young - a move that proved to be inspired!

Our first game was at the mighty Merthyr Tydfil - 90 minutes later we had been mauled 9-1 and we were thinking what have we done??

The second game gave us some relief as we beat Penrhos 12-1 before embarking on a roller coaster of a learning curve - playing against good quality teams every week.The season finished with us in mid table having aquitted ourselves fairly well.

During the off season,the club launched their very own Fitness Suite which consists of multigym,cross trainers,rowing machines,recumbent cycling machines and a treadmill.This is based in our local community centre and is staffed by qualified,volunteer instructors.

The 2007/8 season duly arrived and we entered our first ever season in senior football in the Newport & District AFL Division 2.

After an indifferent start,we didn't look too shabby.We played some attractive football,scored loads of goals,didnt let many in and only lost four times all season - promotion to Division 1 was achieved at the first attempt and Champions to boot along with the League Fair Play Award.

The 2008/9 season saw the Club field two Senior teams,an Under 18 team,an Under 15 team and an Under 11 team.Despite several key players sustaining injuries early in the season the 1st team again won promotion - this time to the Premier X Division!The 2nd team showed that despite all the usual teething problems that they are capable of being a decent side and the Under 15s continue to develop with Jake Horwood being scouted by Newport County............the revolution continues!!
