Llangyfelach AFC was born as a Club in March 1994. It came about at the time when many of a class of boys in Llangyfelach Primary School were playing for other Clubs. Steve Harris’ son Lee and a few others were in the same Club, who’s name I won’t mention – but were playing 5 up front and 5 in defence!!

Steve had an idea that it would be great if the boys of Llangyfelach had their own Football Club. Steve mentioned his idea to Kay Rogers whose own son Adam was also playing for another Club. Kay immediately set about getting his idea off the ground by saying she could get sponsorship from her husband Brian and that Steve would take up the responsibility of running the Club. This was February 1994. Mr Brian Rogers very kindly donated £150 to start the Club off and Steve immediately set the wheels in motion by running around to make the money go as far as possible to get a new kit and 1 match ball.

The Club officially joined the Swansea Junior League and West Wales F.A. in July 1994. The Club’s very first official match took place on 8th May 1994 against a Gowerton side a year older who had just won the League Under 9’s that year. The result was a 2-0 win to Gowerton but for their very first time as a Team it was evident we would do well. Our early years were filled with many fund raising events our main one being our Fun Day which consisted of the boys playing another team and the dads doing their bit by having their own “fun” game against the other team’s dads – this affectionately became known as the Dads Army Team! In the night we would hold a barbecue down at the Scout Hall which was run and superbly organised by Pat and Johns Elvins and helpers. In 1997 another age group was started and Steve then started a new group every year after that, and the rest as we say is history!!

With the new modern thinking Committee that has developed in recent years, the Club has been taken to new higher levels and long may this continue.
