Sad to hear of the recent passing of Mark James Richards. Mark played only for Caerau Ely for over 25 years from the age of 16, until he became player manager for our Vets team until retirement in his early forties.
Today 'ONE OF OUR OWN' and a friend will be laid to rest. Fly high Karl Bridgeman a great man who will be sadly missed.
Condolences to the Bridgeman family from everyone associated with Caerau Ely.
Great performance from the lads today, the match was abandoned with not long left after a severe injury to Ben Symons
