Are you interested in becoming a REFEREE

It is with great sadness we have to announce the death of our President Graham Reynolds after a short illness. Graham was elected on to the Gwent County Football Association as a representative of the Gwent Schools Football Association in 1977. He went on to become a life member, Chairman and finally our President. He showed great pride at his inauguration as President in 2007 and Grahams departing is a huge loss. Graham was a tremendous supporter of youth football and was a talent scout for Tottenham Hotspur.    Graham played football for Newport County, Cwmbran Town and Lovells Athletic among others and was capped by Wales at amateur level. He also played cricket for Glamorgan at first and second class level - and for Wales. Graham was formerly deputy head teacher at Hartridge High School.

Our thoughts are with Eira and the family  - we send our heartfelt sympathy to them in this very difficult and sad time.

The funeral will be held on Friday 7th March 2008 at St Julians Methodist Church in Newport.
