But honours don't seem to have come their way in the first half of the 20th Century; the club never even reached the top division of the Welsh League and it disbanded during the Second World War.

Reformed as Pontardawe Athletic in 1947, the town club entered the Welsh League, playing in division two (west).

By the mid-1960s the club was struggling in the middle section of the restructured Welsh League and by 1980 they dropped to the lowest division.

Ponty went into decline again, slipping back to the third level of the Welsh league by the mid-1980s, quietly remaining there for over a decade.

The club also finished runners up in the 2013/2014 League Cup Final losing on penalties to AFC Porth.
