T.T.A.F.C HISTORY<br />
Tredegar Town was formed over 40 years ago in 1968 by the late Cliff Bethel, to provide a<br />
recreation for those young men who preferred playing association football to Rugby Union.<br />
Cliff had originally been chairman of Troedrhiwgwair from 1961-65 but formed a new team<br />
with the help of his brother Dai. The team was originally known as the Rhyd Boys Club and<br />
was known throughout Wales for sending players to represent Wales at Schoolboy and<br />
Boys Club of Wales level.<br />
<br />
The clubs first success came in 1982-83, when they won the Gwent Amateur Cup and won<br />
the Gwent Youth Cup in 1988. By this time the club had changed its name to Tredegar Town<br />
and moved on to senior level plying their trade in the North Gwent League Division 1, rising<br />
to a Premier Division place. With the introduction of the pyramid system, Tredegar gained a<br />
place in the more challenging Gwent County League in 1990-91 and played their games at<br />
the Recreation ground.<br />
<br />
The team steadily gained credibility throughout the 90s winning promotion from Division<br />
3 and winning the Division 2 title in 1992-93. Life in Division 1 was short-lived, but after<br />
relegation the club bounced instantly back with the Division 2 title again in 1994-95, while<br />
the Gwent County Motors Cup was won in 1997.<br />
<br />
In 1997-98 Tredegar won the Gwent County Division 1 title and were successful in<br />
applying for membership to the Welsh Football League. The club found instant success at<br />
this level, finishing as runners up to Caerleon in its debut season in Welsh League Division 3,<br />
winning 24 and draws 4 out of 32 league games with a mammoth 101 goals scored. The club<br />
also had its best success in the Welsh Cup, reaching the last 32 before falling to Llanelli (2-<br />
1) after wins over Pontlottyn Blast Furnace (3-0) and Taffs Well (2-1). The club was<br />
managed during this success by Riley Gray who stepped down in 2002 but would go on to<br />
become club Secretary until 2018.<br />
<br />
Tredegar would stay in Division 2 for 11 seasons, their best finish being in 2004-05 when<br />
they just missed out on promotion by 3 points to Bryntirion Athletic. This season had seen<br />
the club move from the Recreation Ground where they had played for 36 years to a<br />
purpose-built ground at Tredegar Leisure Centre.<br />
<br />
However, in 2009-10 the club suffered relegation to Division 3 along with Maesteg Park<br />
and Porthcawl Town. This is where the club would stay until the end of 2018-19 when<br />
pyramid restructuring saw them play the last ever Welsh League season in Division 2,<br />
finishing in 10th position on a points per game average due to the pandemic. During this time<br />
the club had been mainly mid to lower table, but narrowly failed to gained promotion in<br />
2014-15, missing out to Ammanford.<br />
Two notable players have been involved with the club, first Andrew York became player<br />
manager in 2007 after captaining Barry Town to a host of trophies in the early 90s and<br />
having European success. Later Cohen Griffith would join the management team, having<br />
played 234 games for Cardiff City.<br />
<br />
During this time the club had been mainly mid to lower table, but narrowly failed to<br />
gained promotion in 2014-15, missing out by just two wins to Ammanford.<br />
THE CLUB HAVING GAINED TIER 3 CRITERIA, NOW TAKE THEIR PLACE IN THE ARDAL<br />
SOUTHERN LEAGUE, SOUTH EAST DIVISION UNDER MANAGER GARETH HARBORD.
SHOUT OUT!<br />
