The club can trace its history back as far as 1902 when Goytre AFC played their football at Goytre Hall. More recently the club played on a series of fields loaned by local farmers, changing in private garages and then having to drive to the pitch, up until the late 80s when the club acquired its present ground through the actions of the trustees in taking out bank loans to purchase the ground, which was then developed with the aid of grants from the Football Trust and Monmonuth County Council. The club originally played in the Gwent Central League and eventually gained promotion to the Gwent County League in 1998, winning promotion to division two in its first season. It spent three seasons in division two before winning that division and progressing through division one, finishing as runners-up to Aberbargoed but gaining promotion to the Welsh League when Aberbargoed were unable to find a suitable ground. In our first season in Welsh League, the club consolidated their place in the division, finishing in a creditable 7th position, we have since established ourselves in the league. This season looks to be one of the most exciting since our promotion to Welsh League, there has been a number of positive steps made this preseason, this includes a number of excellent players joining the current crop, and the creation of the a new under 18’s team.
