Treowen Stars

Treowen Stars F.C. are a Welsh football club from the village of Treowen near Newbridge, Caerphilly. The club plays in the Cymru South.

Treowen Stars were formed in 1926 in the village of Treowen, near Newbridge, and played most of their early football in the Abertillery & District and West Monmouthshire Leagues.

It was in the early 70's under the chairmanship of Archie Davies that Treowen by now in the Monmouthshire Senior League planted the seeds of success. In 1973, new changing rooms were erected just below the field, at Bush Park, largely paid for with proceeds of a very successful Tote, run by the Committee at the time. It wasn't until 1984 that the club was given licence to sell alcohol on the premises. It didn't take long though to reconstruct the inside of the building, since a very strong social element had been very instrumental in keeping the club going financially.

In 1980 the Gwent County League had been formed from a merger of the Monmouthshire Senior League and the Gwent Premier League. In 1985–86, Treowen Stars won promotion from Division 3 of the Gwent County League and started the climb up the ladder. In 1990–91, Treowen gained promotion from Division 2 and a year later clinched the Division 1 title at the first attempt. This was at the time of the introduction of the Pyramid system and Treowen were offered a place in the Welsh League. Within weeks the required ground improvements were completed and Treowen entered the Welsh League.

In 1992–93, the clubs first season in the Welsh League, the Stars won Division 3 by March, winning 21 and drawing 4 of the 26 league games. The following year Treowen won promotion again, this time finishing runners-up, losing out on goal difference to Taffs Well. In the same season, 1993-94 they also finished
