Brief History
02 Jul 2008

This season (2008-09) is the first for many years that the club has registered a Youth team and they will play in the Welsh Youth League (Central Div.), this is testimony to the hard work of the Junior section over the last 8-9 years, and something for all our Juniors to aspire to.
The Football Club was founded in 1896 and play their matches at Ivor Park, Pontyclun.

In its early years, the club played in the Bridgend League and the Cardiff & District League. In 1922, it was then admitted to the Football Association of Wales, one of the few amateur clubs at the time to achieve such status. Within a few years, the FAW adopted Pontyclun's motto 'Gorau chwarae, chwarau cyd' (roughly translated as 'the best players play together') as its own.

In 1968, the club was admitted to the Welsh Football League ( the premier league in Wales). At the same time, Pontyclun continued to run teams in both the Rhondda and Pontypridd leagues.

Since 1968, the senior team has played most of its games in the 3rd division, but has three times achieved promotion. In 1979/80 - 1992/3 and 2002/3. The Reserve team play in the Welsh League Reserve league and the newly formed Youth team in the Welsh Youth League (Central Division).
We also have a thriving Junior section with over 150 children playing in various leauges of the Taff Ely Rhymney Valley League. which is affiliated to the South Wales F.A.
