HIGH flying Chepstow Town were brought down to earth with a bump by Trethomas Bluebirds, as they went down 4-1 at home on Saturday.

The Jockeys are riding high in third in the Ardal South East League, but came a cropper at Larkfield to top half Trethomas, who scored twice in three minutes just before half-time to lead 3-1, before sealing the win with a 90th-minute fourth.

The visitors netted their first after five minutes before Josh Parsons levelled on 37 minutes. But goals on 42 and 45 minutes gave the Jockeys a mountain to climb.

Local rivals Caldicot Town scored four though, as they ran out 4-0 winners at basement boys RTB Ebbw Vale, a result that lifts them above Monmouth Town to ninth.

On a weekend that saw very little grassroots football, Sudbrook CC 2nds dazzled Portskewett & Sudbrook 2nds with a dozen-goal blast at home in the Fishwick Cup, running out 12-2 victors.

It was a much tighter affair at East Gwent One table toppers Underwood though, as they just pipped Chepstow’s Division Two leaders Thornwell R&W 2nds 3-2.

The previous week saw Redbrook Rovers earn a 2-2 George Sandoe Cup draw at Tidenham, thanks to goals from Joe Addis and Callum Wheatley.
