History
editPadarn United are known to have existed as early as 1895, playing friendlies against other local teams in the Aberystwyth area.[1] For the 1906–07 season, Padarn played in the Aberystwyth Junior League.[2]
In 1921, Padarn were founder members of the Cardiganshire League,[3] where they won the league title in 1923–24. In 1934 they were founder members of the Aberystwyth League.[4][5]
In 1988 Padarn United won the Aberystwyth League[6] and were runners-up to Maesglas in the South Cards Cup.[7]
In 1997 Padarn United were again champions of the Aberystwyth League.[8] This title was in the same season they won the J. Emrys Morgan Cup, beating Llanrhystud in the final,[9] as well as the North Cards Cup where they beat Penrhyncoch reserves in the final,[10] and the South Cards Cup where they beat Llandysul in the final.[7] After their successful 1996–97 season, Padarn United gained promotion to the Mid Wales Football League, where they would finish second in their only season.[11][12]
