Hi, I’m looking for any history in regards to sport in particular Rugby/Football being played in Glascoed from the 1900s to the current day. I’m looking to build a knowledge section as I’m part of the current set up of Glascoed Football Club.
My contact email is aaronewers@gmail.com.
Thank you.
Aaron.
Good luck with that Aaron - great to hear from you. I didn't know about the football club. Hope you have a good season.
1) I'm not sure whether this is of Glascoed, Monmouthshire or elsewhere but here's a story from the Evening Express and Evening Mail. The other place names on the page seem to be from Glamorgan to me. https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4150451/4150455/68/glascoed%2BOR%2Bfootball
I haven't been able to find any other examples, sorry - I did some searches of newspapers on the National Library of Wales site (which only seems to go up until the early 1900s) and the newspapers section on Findmypast.
Might this website be of any use? https://www.welshsoccerarchive.co.uk/index.php May be worth contacting them to see what records they have.
Good luck - keep us posted.
