Having been home last night, as the driver for the Canton Liberal match was going to Arsenal versus West Ham United today, it meant another trip across The Bridge this morning to take in the first three matches of the ‘Hop, which would all be in the Gwent County League. Thankfully, it was only the fourth match of today’s scheduled games that we had both visited (the ground hosted Newport Y.M.C.A. when they were in the Welsh League) so we could get home nice and early.

Usually, the Gwent County League is good value for entertainment, but the first half here was far from it. The second half was much better and more like we are used to.
