Caerleon Sport Roundup - Week 8


MBA Cup
Friday evening saw the field whittled down to 8 teams as the 3rd round of the MBA Cup took place. New Tredegar and Chepstow were the only sides who recorded home victories as it was an evening of away wins elsewhere for RTB, Blaina, Ynysddu, Blackwood and St Julians. Unfortunately Caldicot were unable to raise a side which sees Croesyceiliog take the final quarter final spot.

The draw for the quarter finals is now available on the website.
