Abercarn United
[edit]Abercarn United was formed in 1997 via the merger of Abercarn Town and Abercarn Rangers.[3] They initially played in the Gwent County League Second Division,[4] but by 2000 they had reached Division One, the top division of the league. They played in the top tier of the Gwent County League continuously from then until a second-place finish in 2022–23 gained them promotion to the Ardal South East.[5] In their first season in the Ardal Leagues they finished 14th out of 16 teams, but avoided relegation due to Aberbargoed Buds' withdrawal.[6]
