The Early Years
The team continued to progress gaining promotion to the Welsh Premier Women's League for the 2014/15 season. Unfortunately, the side got relegated in the first season in the WPWL back to Welsh Women's league. This relegation was short-lived as the next season the side won the WWL and returned to the WPWL. The club remained in the WPWL until the league was rebranded to the Adran Premier when the club were demoted to the second tier the Adran South.
