During the 2010–11 season they managed to finish a much improved 2nd in the Neath Premier League and also reached the West Wales Cup semi-final at Stebonheath Park but lost 2–1.
In the 2011–12 season they won the Neath Premier League for the first time in their history by only dropping eight points all season. They also won the Premier Division Cup for the third time by coming from behind twice to beat Seven Sisters 4–3.
For the 2020–21 season the club joined the newly formed Tier 4 West Wales Premier League.[1] The planned inaugural season did not take place due to the Coronavirus pandemic and when the league did start in August 2021, the club were no longer part of the league, instead returning to the Neath & District League as a Division Two club.
