CALDICOT
Community
“We are a community club providing opportunities for
all age groups. Youth rugby is very important to the
club and almost all of our senior squad originally played
youth rugby for us. We hold joint training sessions and
give youth players the opportunity to play senior rugby
as soon as they are old enough.
The facilities at the club are also used by other
voluntary groups and professional organisations within
the local area. We have run training sessions for both
ladies and girls this season. The uptake has been
rather disappointing but we will attempt to re-establish
this in the future subject to demand.”
Progression
“Rhys Buckley played youth rugby for the club and has
recently joined Newport Gwent Dragons. Mike Powell
played for the club before progressing to the Ospreys
where he captained the region against Australia.
More recently Mike has played club rugby for Mosley
46
ISSUE 01
and has also played for the Barbarians. Joe Davies
has represented Wales at U17 level and has recently
played for the Newport Gwent Dragons.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“The biggest challenge that we face is maintaining and
developing our facilities within the constraints of the
current economic restrictions. Over the coming years
we would like to develop our playing strength at senior
level and progress through the WRU League structure
by two divisions.”
