In the 2014/15 season after a WRU restructure of the league's in Wales, Caldicot finished 5th in the league, only 10 points short of promotion to Division 2 East.
The 2nd XV currently play in the Newport and Pontypool District League and are known affectionately by locals as "the Geese". It is widely believed by locals that the Geese have the ability to grow webbing between their fingers during matches when large downpours of rain occur and are able to communicate with each other in the native geese tongue of "honking".
The Youth team currently play in the Dragons Regional Youth Leagues in Division DB. They also run a Veterans XV that play occasional friendlies. They also have a thriving mini and junior section running teams from Under 8s-Under 16s with around 250 children playing on Sundays. The club colours are black and white. The club logo is a swan like most clubs and societies in Caldicot.
