St Dogmaels F.C. is a Welsh football club based in St Dogmaels, Pembrokeshire. The team plays in the Ceredigion League First Division. The club also has successful teams at junior level.[1][2]

The club has had success in the local Ceredigion League, including four consecutive league titles between 1991 and 1995 - a period which came to be known as the "Golden Nineties". As of 2020, their four consecutive titles still stood as a league record.

History

The club was successful in the 1960s, winning league titles in 1960–61, 1964–65 and 1965–66. They also won the league title in 1973–74.[3] After Maesglas folded in the early 1990s, many of their key players joined St Dogmaels. In the "Golden Nineties", St Dogmaels won the league four times in a row (from 1991 to 1995[3]), and lifted the 1994–95 J. Emrys Morgan Cup with a win over Llanrhaeadr in the final. As of 2020, their four consecutive league titles was still a league record.[4] They won league titles again in 1996–97 and 2006–07.[3]

In 2019 St Dogmaels were again crowned champions of the Ceredigion League.[5] They repeated this in the following season,[6] and again in 2021–22, the first season after the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

In 2024 the club formed a women's team for the first time.[8]
