Caldicot Rugby Football Club are a Welsh rugby union club based in Caldicot, Monmouthshire, South Wales. The club was founded in 1961 and we play just off Longfellow Road, Caldicot. The 1st XV currently play in the Welsh Rugby Union Division Two East and are a feeder club for the Dragons Rugby.
The 2nd XV are known affectionately by locals as “the Geese”. It is widely believed by locals that the Geese have the ability to grow webbing between their fingers during matches when large downpours of rain occur and are able to communicate with each other in the native geese tongue of “honking”. For those that prefer less contact and more running we have the Silver Geese who are a touch rugby team for all ages and skills – occasional matches for over 25’s are organised.
The Youth team play in the Dragons Regional Youth Leagues – and are recent cup and league winners. There is a thriving mini and junior section running teams from Under 8s-Under 16s with around 250 children playing on Sundays. The club colours are black and white.
