History
1890 Newquay Football Club
08 Aug 2010
Newquay A.F.C. are the oldest football club in Newquay. Nicknamed "The Peppermints". we were the founding members of the South Western League in 1951, and remained there until 2007 when the club joined the South West Peninsula League Division One West. The reserve side were also founder members of the Cornwall Combination in 1959, and have remained there ever since.
The club can trace its roots back to 1890, although the club have had a number of different incarnations and names:
1890 - 1903 Newquay F.C.
1903 - 1912 Newquay One and All F.C.
1920 - 1937 Newquay Rovers F.C.
1946 - Newquay AFC
The club's Shield and Helm are based on the Newquay Town Council civic arms. The black bird a perch on the top of the crest is a Cornish Chough, a member of the crow family that was extinct in Cornwall but has just been successfully reintroduced. The four Herrings represent the history of fishing in Newquay and the motto "RO AN MOR" is Cornish for 'from the sea'.
