Felindre F.C. is a Welsh football club based in Felindre, Powys. The team currently plays in the Montgomeryshire League.
History
Felindre won three Mid Wales South League titles from 1963 to 1965.[1] They also played in the 1959–60 Welsh Cup, losing to Knighton Town in the first round after a replay.[2] In 1960 they won a Welsh Amateur Cup third round match against Newtown.[1][3] However the club folded in 1965 after their third league title.[1]
Felindre reformed in 2017, rejoining the Mid Wales South League.[1] Their first win came in November, against Brecon Northcote reserves.[4]
In 2023 the league folded, so they joined the Montgomeryshire League.[5][6] In 2024 they won the Bernie Jones Memorial Trophy, with a 1–0 win over Waterloo Rovers reserves at Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain. This was described as "their first piece of major silverware for nearly 60 years".[7]
