[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

🚨 Tomorrow’s kick off is now 6:30pm

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

Our preseason continues this Thursday in what will no doubt prove another very tough test away to a top club in @PenydarrenFC

Be great to see some travelling support for the lads (also a bar at the pitch for half time refreshments 🍺)

Come on the cuckoos 🖤🤍

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

In what feels better than a new signing every single season, Callum has yet again committed to the cuckoos this year.

🐐

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

Our final awards, to the surprise of absolutely nobody who has watched the cuckoos in the last two seasons, goes to the goat, Callum Hutton.

Callum picks up our Player’s Player, Golden Boot & Playmaker awards.

Congratulations to our admin’s favourite player 👏🏼

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

Our second award for the 25/26 presentation was our Manager’s Player, who went to Mr Reliable, our skipper Calum Robinson.

Well deserved skip 👏🏼

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

Over the prior two seasons, and again this year, Callum has turned down almost every club in South Wales. A star player who leads by example, works harder than anyone, scores the goals and has true loyalty beyond any money being thrown about in local football.

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

Now a stalwart at the club, Calum took on the captaincy this season and has become a real leader in tough times.

As all true captains, despite interest from leagues above, Calum has also committed to the cuckoos for the upcoming season which we are all absolutely delighted with.

Our first award from our 25/26 presentation is our Player of the Year, which went to industrious midfielder Kyle Coleman.

Congratulations Kyle 👏🏼

[Risca United AFC @RiscaUtd]

In his first full season for the cuckoos Kyle established himself in the heart of our midfield, putting in endless miles, breaking play up and progressing our play on the ball.

Kyle particularly starred in our end of season surge of form to beat the drop. Time to go again Kyle👊🏼
