Our Association is devastated to hear of the passing of Richard "Dickie" McCarthy at the very young age of 38. Richard represented several clubs in the Abergavenny area, but is perhaps best remembered for his time at Govilon Football Club where he formed a prolific goal-scoring partnership with Dean Morgan, which culminated in them being in the Gwent County FA team which represented Wales in the Uefa Regions Cup. We send our sincere condolences to Richards' family and friends. RIP Richard.
Funeral details to follow.

There are major changes to the structure of the Pyramid System in Wales. The structure will be: JD Cymru Premier League, JD Cymru League North, JD Cymru League South. We will then have, in the South, Welsh League Division One & Two.
It is a fitting time to change the structure in Gwent. The Gwent County County League will become autominous from the Gwent County Football Association. The League will now be known as as The Gwent Premier League. It will consist of a Premier League, Division One & Two. The Management Committee of the Association has decided we will change our logo to reflect the changes.
The Four District Leagues in Gwent will stay unchanged.
