MOST football was frozen off at the weekend, including Monmouth Town's Gwent Premier trip to basement boys Wattsville, having beaten them 4-0 at home five days before Christmas.

Chepstow Town were able to host Blaenavon Blues at Larkfield Road, albeit with both assistant referees slipping over, with the game ending 2-2.

The Jockeys, languishing in 13th in the Ardal South East League after finishing second last season, led 2-0 with just over 20 minutes left, but let it slip.

Matt Broad snuck in on the far post to squeeze the ball home two minutes before half-time, before Chepstow defender Nathan Rose made it 2-0 two minutes into the second half.

But Blues’ substitute Fin Watkins beat the offside trap to deliver a pin-point square ball for Nathan Watts to fire home for 2-1 on 69 minutes.

And with 10 minutes left, the Jockeys keeper could only parry an Alex Berrow shot, before Bailey Perry fired in from the edge of the box for 2-2.

The Kingfishers finished 2025 second on goal difference to Marshield in the GP top tier having won their final game, where Finley Cummins scored on debut and management duo Sam Palmer and Jack Alderdice celebrated 50 games in charge.

Chepstow visit Abergavenny on Friday night, while Monmouth visit Rogerstone on Saturday.
