Cardiff Metropolitan University F.C.

Origins: 1964-2000

Cardiff Met F.C. was originally founded sometime before 1964 as the Cardiff College of Education F.C. They made their Welsh Amateur Cup debut in 1964, defeating Pembroke Borough 3–2 in their inaugural game and Dunlop Semtex 3–0 in the third round before suffering elimination in round 4 at the hands of Merthyr Tydfil. During the 1966–67 and 1969–70 seasons, Cardiff College of Education reached the final of the Welsh Amateur Cup every year, winning the cup on 2 occasions in 1968 and 1969 beating Welshpool and Tonyrefail Welfare respectively. During the 1972–73 season, Cardiff College joined the second division of the Welsh Football League, finishing a creditable 7th (amongst 19 teams) in their first season. The following season the club ended the campaign in 10th place and again reached the final of the Welsh Amateur Cup, losing 2–1 to Whitchurch Alport. The 1974–75 season saw the club promoted to the second tier of Welsh football for the first time following a second-place finish behind eventual champions Blaenavon Blues, despite ending the season level on points. The 1975–76 season saw the club complete a league and FAW Intermediate Cup double, scoring over 100 goals in the process. The promotion meant the club would be playing at the top level of Welsh Football for the first time in its history. However, after two seasons in the Welsh League South Premier Division, the 1978–79 season saw the team record only one win and its lowest ever points…
