History

The club was formed in 1880,[1] but first appears in the 1888–89 Welsh Cup, where they went out in the first round, losing 1–0 to Oswestry.[2]

In 1895 they were founder members of the Newtown & District Junior League,[3] and in 1896–97 they were champions.[4]

They were founder members of the Montgomeryshire League in 1904.[5]

In 1906–07, 1907–08,[6] and 1913–14[7] the club won the Montgomeryshire Challenge Cup.[8]

The club does not appear to have reformed after World War One.

Rivals

edit

The club's main rivals were Newtown North End, another football club that emerged at a similar time in Newtown. They were originally known as Cambrian North End and rebranded in 1895, but folded in 1909.[1]
