Highlights
- Quambron is the closest derby venue in football? 40 meters.
- Cwmbran Celtic vs Cwmbran Town Derby returns after 16 years in Wales Third Division.
- Is Cwmbran set to host football's closest derby?.
The town of Cwmbran in South Wales will be the scene of a football sensation this week. Cwmbran Celtic and Cwmbran Town are set to face each other again after a 16-year gap. The home grounds of these two clubs are literally next to each other—just 40 meters apart. Being such close rivals, the locals expect this to be one of the most local derbies not only in United Kingdom but also in world football.
In England, Nottingham Forest and Notts County teams are known as the closest professional rivals on either side of the River Trent. The distance between Dundee United Tannadice Park and Dundee FC Dens Park in Scotland is only 0.17 miles (about 272 meters). But the claimed 40 meter gap in the Cwambaron duel is likely to surpass these records. At the same time, the distance between Paris Saint-Germain Parc des Princes and Paris FC Stade Jean-Bouin is also reported to be 40 meters. So while the 'world record' remains to be seen, the closest Derby honor in Britain is likely to go to Cwombran.
The match is part of Wales' third tier competition, the Ardal South-East League. Last season, Cwmbran Celtic were relegated from the second tier of the league, with a rematch with neighbors Cwmbran Town as a league fixture. Competition rules require hosts Celtic to play the match at the newly renamed Motazone Arena; Town guests are not allowed to use their own changing rooms.
The local fans are very excited for this fight. "We think it's the closest derby in the UK and one of the closest in the world. The distance between the two grounds in Dundee feels so much greater!" said Cwombran Celtic fan Steve Fry. He enthused, "Whether the Town team needs a bus or a walk is enough! Either way, we'll be hosting brilliantly. What a great way to start the season with such a high-octane derby."
Most of the players of these two clubs are from the same town. But so far it has been a rare opportunity to hit the ground running for three points. Another highlight this time around—experienced forward Li Trundle, who scored goals for Swansea City and Wrexham, joined Cwmbran Town this summer. Steve Fry's son (16) being in the Celtic academy, the derby prompted the amusing comment that he had to "show YouTube videos of who he is". Given the level of the league, having a name like Trundle playing here will add to the appeal of the competition, with double the usual crowd expected.
In terms of glamour, it cannot be compared to the Paris Derby. But the locality, the intimacy, the emotions—all in all—this Cwmbran Celtic vs Cwmbran Town battle is going to mount a strong challenge for the “closest derby” title in football. Tuesday's match will leave a bold mark not only on the Ardal South-East League calendar, but also on the British football map.
What happens next
After this match, Cwmbran Celtic and Cwmbran Town will look to improve their performances so that they can strengthen their position in the Ardal South-East League. A team that wins this competition will boost local prestige and bring more excitement to the next matches. Following the Cwambaron derby, both clubs can explore new opportunities to attract their fans and promote local football.
