Brief History & Current Information

Morriston Town Association Football Club is an amateur association football team based in Morriston, Swansea, Wales. The club was formed in the 1940s as Midland Athletic and played in the Swansea & District League prior to joining the Welsh Football League in 1951.

During their time in the Welsh League Morriston Town achieved limited success by raising to the Welsh Premier Divsion in the early 1990's. However, by the 2007/08 season, the club was languishing in the lower echelons of the Welsh League, and after suffering relegation from the third divsion, Morriston Town parted with the Welsh League after over 50 years.

Currently, Morriston Town compete in the Swansea Senior League Division 2, a feeder league at the bottom of the Welsh Football Pyramid and feeding into the MacWhirter Welsh Football League.

Morriston Town's home ground, The Dingle Field, was purchased from a local farmer during the time that the club first joined the Welsh Football League. Located in the northern area of Morriston, The Dingle plays host to the club's three senior teams, and various youth sides.

Morriston Town share local rivalries with fellow Swansea League clubs Morriston Olympic FC and Ynystawe Athletic FC.
