Monmouth Town F.C.

By 1874, both teams had fully converted to rugby, and very rarely played association football over the next few years.

The next honour recorded by the Town was victory on the Monmouthshire Senior Cup on the eve of war in 1940, defeating Lovell's Athletic, (aka the Toffeemen) then about to lift the Southern League West title, 3–2 at Monmouth Sportsground which is still home today.

Nearly 20 years later, in 1958, the Town lifted the Monmouthshire Amateur Cup beating Cefn Fforest 3–0 at Pontllanfraith.

More recently the Town were relegated to the bottom tier of the Gwent County just three years ago.

The returning Andrew Smith took up the reins and gained promotion in his first season in charge finishing runners up to Rogerstone.

At the beginning of 2005–06 season the club adopted 'the Kingfishers' nickname and logo in homage to a peculiar legend outlined later.

The season ended with fourteen match winning run as Town clinched the Gwent County Division Two title ahead of Newport Civil Service.

Official government sources from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Timber recorded their alarm at the plight of the Kingfisher population and a detailed study was carried out to assess the damage.

Amazingly the only surviving pair of breeding Kingfishers were found nesting in a deflated football that had floated down the Monnow into the Wye and lodged itself with its laces in some branches overlooking the river.

It was in the days before the Magic Marker so it could not be proven that the ball had been lost in a game at the Town's sportsground but it was deemed the obvious cause.

has spent over eight decades playing at Chippenham Sports Ground, located on Blestium Street in Monmouth.

In August 2014 The Club moved its first team to Pen Y Pound Stadium Abergavenny, to improve their chances of being able to take up any future promotion to the Welsh Premier League.

[citation needed] In May 2015 The club aborted their stay at Abergavenny citing a breakdown in the relationship and returned to Monmouth.

With part-owners that span the entire world, the Kingfishers have recently begun big steps to expand their online presence.
