CLUB HISTORY
Cambrian & Clydach Vale was originally formed in 1965 as Cambrian United and was named after the local coal mine, Cambrian Colliery. In its formative years, the club played in the Rhondda & District League before joining the South Wales Corinthian League in 1972. In 1980, Cambrian United merged with Clydach Vale Boys and Girls Club but the merger proved disappointing as the club were nearly relegated out of the renamed South Wales Amateur League. The two clubs subsequently split.
In 1992, Cambrian United returned to the First Division of the South Wales Amateur League after winning the Second Division title. By the end of the decade, the club was regularly competitive at the top of the First Division, missing out on winning the league title during the 2000–01 season after being deducted six points. Cambrian United and Clydach Vale Boys and Girls Club merged for a second time in 2002 to become Cambrian & Clydach Vale Boys and Girls Club and the venture proved more successful. In its third year, the club won the First Division of the South Wales Amateur League and were promoted to the Welsh Football League.
In its first two seasons in the Welsh Football League, the club won consecutive promotions to reach the First Division by the 2007–08 season. The side has remained in the division for over a decade since. Former England manager Terry Venables, whose mother was from the Clydach Vale area, served as an honorary chairman of the club in the 2010s. [3] [3] [4]
The club reached the final of the 2018–19 Welsh League Cup, beating several Welsh Premier League teams during the competition, including defending league and cup champions The New Saints. In the final, Cambrian lost 2–0 to Cardiff Metropolitan University at Jenner Park. [4] [5]
Ahead of the 2024–25 season, the club renamed back to Cambrian United.[6]

Good afternoon, MANAGERS VIEW
As we welcome Cambrian to our ground for the final home game of the season, I want to begin by thanking you — the supporters — for your unwavering commitment throughout what has been a challenging but encouraging campaign.
When we met Cambrian earlier in the season, we played out a fiercely contested 2-2 draw. They’re a strong side, full of energy and quality, and we expect another tough test today. But we’re equally motivated to finish our home campaign on a high and give the kind of performance that reflects the hard work these players have put in over the last few months.
While results haven’t always gone our way lately, the effort, attitude, and football we’ve played have been much better than the table might suggest. We've competed well, created chances, and shown resilience — and I’ve told the players that if they keep performing at this level, the rewards will come.
Today is about ending the season with the right mentality, finishing strongly, and showing pride in the shirt. The lads are determined to get a positive result that reflects the progress we've made and leaves us all heading into the summer on a positive note.
Enjoy the game — and as always, thank you for your support.
