The club was established in 1890. They played in the South Wales League and were league champions in 1893–94[2] and 1897–98 and were runners up of Division One of the league in 1899–90[3] before the following season being crowned league champions for a third time.[4] The club then moved to the Rhymney Valley League Division One in 1905–06 where they finished as champions.
The club was refounded in the 1950s by Ivor Charles James and played in the Newport and District League.[5]
