Cwmbran Celtic AFC Religion & Sport Collide
Like their Glaswegian namesakes today's visitors roots are entwined with the Catholic church. While the Bhoys were formed to raise money for the impoverished West end of Glasgow in the 1880’s our visitors were formed in 1925 as CYMS (Catholic Young Men’s Society) to provide a sporting outlet for the local congregation and community. The majority of the yellows history has been spent competing in the Newport & District & Gwent county league system with the exception of the 1930’s when they competed predominantly in the Gwent church league. Carol Fry
After the loss of their senior side they ran as a juniors club before reinstating a senior side in the 1960’s under the name of Cwmbran Catholic before adopting their current Monica in 1972. First gaining promotion to the Welsh league after the 05/06 campaign, a bumpy first year was followed by triumphant 06/07 season seeing the side go on a 24 game unbeaten league run, which resulted in promotion to division one where they stayed until the league restructuring. Carol Fry
Man of The Match Board
Another first for the club this year we are but we delighted to have renewed our affiliation with Brendan of ‘Lyons Den’ who has kindly agreed to sponsor our new ‘Man of the Match’ board.
Todays Match Day Sponsor For todays fixture we would like to thank Rhian Jones of ‘Elevens Beauty’ who has kindly renewed their sponsorship with the club for the 22/23 campaign. Married to club legend and future hall of famer Sean Jones, its great to see the family continuing to support the club off the field. With Christmas parties just around the corner don’t hesitate to get in touch with Rhian.

Blood, Sweat & Buns
As a club we are delighted to be working with the Welsh blood service as part of their blood sweat and cheers campaign.
Along with the FAW and all the clubs that make up the Cymru league's we are looking to raise awareness of the lifesaving work that the Welsh blood service do and to hopefully encourage more of the Welsh footballing fanbase to donate blood.

Long Live The
The word ‘Legend’ is often used too lightly with little to no evidence to quantify such a statement / title. However for anyone associated to the club or those with a good understanding of our history I think we can safely say that Cei ‘The King’ Mason more than deserves such a mantle. He’s represented the club since 2005 and has applied his trade from Tier 7 through to Tier 2, even he thought that this would be one achievement too many in what has been an illustrious career but last Friday he once again showed his love and commitment for the club netting his 150th & 151st goal. There have been some great players over the years with only a handful in the exclusive 100 club but Mason is now out in front and this may be a record that that remains unchallenged for many a decade to come.Carol Fry His work rate on the field is unreal but the last 4 years its his work off the field, that many would not of seen, but for those that have I think we can confidently say had it not been, we would quite simply not be applying our trade at this level.
From everyone at the club we wanted to say a massive thank you to West Link Mechanical Services who a few weeks ago won the club raffle to secure primary sponsorship for our Reserves Team home kit.
This was worn for the first time in the clubs first outing on the new and impressive Baglan field, as the buns secured a much needed three points in a 6-0 win against Treowen.

Photo of The Week Less than two weeks the club were rocked by the news of an incident that impacted one of our star youth team players George Hopkins. We all knew what a courageous young man George was whether out on the field for the buns or showing his old man and older brother who the better boxer was in the ring. The strength and bravery shown for someone so young is testament to his character and from everyone associated to the club we wish him all the best on his road to recovery.
