History

edit

Panteg AFC was formed in 1935 under the name Baldwins Panteg (which became RTB Panteg in 1947 following the war), then Panteg in 1969 as a team representing the local Richard Thomas and Baldwin Steelworks (previously Baldwin Steelworks), playing home games at the RTB Sportsground, but in 1981 the grounds were sold to make way for a major road development. The club then relocated half a mile away to Panteg House Club & Sportsgrounds, where they've been ever since.

The team played in the Gwent County League since the 1999–2000 season, following relegation from The Welsh League but have now been promoted back into Welsh League following the 2013–14 season.

Colours and badge
