History

[edit | edit source]

Llantwit Major A.F.C. was founded in 1962. In 1971 they joined the South Wales Amateur League.[1]

In the 2011–12 season they were South Wales Amateur League champions, and joined the Welsh Football League Division Three. From 2016 to 2018 the club achieved back to back promotions, reaching Division One. In 2019 they were founder members of the newly formed Cymru South.[2] In 2021–22 they won the Cymru South title,[3] but were denied promotion, allowing runners-up Pontypridd Town to enter the Cymru Premier instead.[4]

In the 2023–24 season they appeared in the FENIX Trophy, and finished second in their group, with four points in four games.[5] This included a win over the reigning champions BK Skjold in their opening game.[6] In 2024–25 the competition switched to a knockout format. Llantwit Major were drawn against K. Berchem Sport. In the first leg, Llantwit Major lost 7–2 at Berchem.[7][8] In the return leg, a month later, they lost 1–0 at the SDM Glass Stadium in Bridgend.[9][10]
