League History

The league was founded in January 1920. It ran in the post-World War One period through to the end of the 1921–22 season, before it was absorbed into the Welsh National League system. [1] It was reformed for the 1930–31 season as an eight club league. The league considered a proposal to merge with the Mid-Wales League in May 1935 but rejected this and continued, inviting additional clubs to join the league. [2]

The league ran through to the end of the 1962–63 season.

The history of the league was documented by Mel ap Ior Thomas, who set up the Welsh Football Data Archive. He researched, wrote and published the ‘History of the Cambrian Coast League’. [3]
