Club history
[edit]The club was formed in 2009 from a group of players largely playing reserve team football for Welsh Football League club Aberbargoed Buds.[1] The club started in North Gwent Football League hoping to get into the Gwent County League. They were Premier League champions in 2011–12. They moved up the Gwent League pyramid by finishing runners-up in Division Three and Division Two in successive seasons. The following season they completed a successive hat-trick of second places as runners-up in Division One, progressing to the Welsh Football League Division Three. The club remained in the league for just one season, finishing bottom of the league in 16th place by one point. In July 2018 the club folded after relegation from the Welsh Football League.[2]
In September 2019 a reformed version of the club entered the North Gwent Football League Premier Division aiming to climb their way back up through the divisions.[3]
In July 2024, the club announced that they had folded.
