The club has enjoyed an unprecedented run of sixteen consecutive seasons in the top flight of the South Wales League—recognised as one of the most competitive Leagues in Britain—but it took a long time to get there.

The first reported game of cricket played at Ammanford was when the place was then known as Cross Inn in the parish of Llandybie.

After the game had terminated, most of the gentlemen proceeded to Mr Wm Howells, of the Cross Inn, where every accommodation and good refreshment was found.

The Club's first secretary was a Councillor David Jones of High Street, which is where another treasurer, Hywel Rees, lived until recently.

The impetus which established Ammanford as a cricketing locality was the coming of the coal industry which naturally attracted work-seekers from all over Wales and beyond.

Several Lancashire folk came to the area, bringing with them a missionary zeal to spread the cricket gospel among the locals.

Names from that era have a distinctly un-Welsh cadence: like Ernie Hewlett, Jim Darbyshire and the Cooke brothers.

At the time of the move to the Park was made, it had a bowler, Huw Morris, who would bowl underhand with considerable success.

During the Depression of the 1930s, J Owen Parry OBE, was president which may have benefited the club keeping it solvent during this decade of severe privation, and potential use of his two cars available as team transport.

He was followed by David Evans, Alan Rees and Len Hill of Glamorgan, but without doubt the best known Ammanford professional[clarification needed] was, before his arrival, an unknown.

Linton Lewis came to Ammanford as the result of an inspired committee decision under the guidance of dedicated secretary Don Phillips to gamble on a young West Indian hopeful.

Several immensely talented batsmen—amongst them Gordon Greenidge and Richie Richardson—have graced the Park with magnificent power and elegance, but never was there such a complete destroyer of bowling attacks as Linton.

Linton left in 1989, much to the relief of the Park's bowling green regulars who had taken to wearing crash helmets during the first XI's home matches.

Overseas players were initially banned, but this Draconian measure was later modified to one and which required them to have lived in the locality for 18 months prior to registration.

On the downside, less magnanimous rivals labelled Ammanford a one-man team, an allegation which our continued presence in the top flight a decade later has shown to be unfounded.

He was engaged as the club's professional in the 1955 season as player-coach, and did excellent work in both capacities until illness overtook him about mid-season 1955.

....If they allowed it to be erected on the site now proposed, he assured them that there would be a rumpus in the town, and the residents of Tirydail Lane would protest.

....Mr. John Owen Parry said that when the Council were good enough to allow the Cricket Club to put up a pavilion, he had himself a site in mind that was, under the old tree.

....He (Mr. Parry) quite understood the objection raised, but they had started to erect the pavilion on the site allocated them by the Committee, who had been given plenary powers in the matter.

Ever since then the cricket club's three pavilions have all been situated conveniently out of sight behind the local Miners' Welfare Hall.

However the club had a successful Welsh Cup run losing narrowly to Sully in the final played at the SWALEC Stadium in Cardiff.

However, the fortunes of the club have now changed and they have made the Twenty20 Finals day held in the SWALEC Stadium in Cardiff and won this tournament with relative ease.

The core are made up of the young footballers in the area who during the off season support the local cricket club.
