Newport City Strikers LFC started life as Newport County LFC and was formed in 1991.
 

Initally an U16 team was established and for the first few years they played regular friendly matches against other South Wales teams. In the 1994/95 season the girls completed an historic double. In their first competitive action they won the South Wales girls U16 and the Welsh Cup, beating the favourites Bangor City on the road to the final.
 
With a number of players becoming too old to play at U16 level the decision was made to form a senior team for the 1995/96 season. The team was entered into the South Wales Celtic League, the League Cup and also the Senior Welsh Cup. Continuing the trend set by the junior team, they swept all before them and won the domestic treble.
 
With a number of the junior side also playing in the senior team, the U16 side struggled to continue their success of the previous season by failing to defend their double. However, they did manage to win the League Cup in its inaugural season.
 
1996/97

The season saw the junior team reinstate itself as Wales finest by completing the treble without losing a single match all season.
 
The senior team managed to defend their League title but were knocked out of the Welsh Cup by Barry Town.
 
1997/98

The senior team decided that in order to play a higher standard of football they should enter the English League. In their first season over the bridge they clinched another double, winning the Division League Cup and finishing champions of the 1st Division of the South West Women’s League’ therefore gaining promotion to the Premier Division.
 
For the first time since their formation the U16 side failed to win any of the three domestic honours and finished the season without a trophy.
 
1998/99

The season saw the senior team win its successive double, gaining promotion to the South West Combination League.
 
The junior side failed to win the league Championship,however they had successful cup runs, winning both the League Cup and Welsh Cup.
 
1999/00

This season  was by far the most exciting in the clubs history. With the club having over 50 girls on their books, the decision was made to set up an U13 and Senior Reserve team. Both of which would compete in their respective leagues in South Wales.

The season went very well with the senior team gaining promotion to the National Southern Division and honours right through the club with no less than 6 trophies gained.
 
2000/01

At the start of the season trophies were not on the agenda for the senior first team, but to maint their position in the Southern Premier League. They would hope to improve in the forth coming season. 

Due to the bad weather of last season it was very difficult for the reserve team to form a real pattern of continued games and by the end of the season only managed to play 9 games. They remained undefeated all season. A decision was made to follow the first team across the bridge and play in the National Southern Reserve League.

2001/02

2002/03

2003/04

Cardiff City AFC wanted a womens football section and having failed in their initial attempt with Cardiff City Ladies, they eventually acquired Merthyr Tydfil Ladies.

Before the start of the season, the womens section underwent a name change from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff City Bluebirds. 

After being relegated, the senior Bluebirds needed to be promoted this season. The Bluebirds worked hard all season but didnt get the results they needed which meant that they did not gain promotion.

After putting in a good performance in the league, the U16 team went on to win the League Cup.

2004/2005

The season started very brightly for all three teams. The senior team managed to get the club into the final of the Welsh Cup, their opponents were Cardiff City Ladies FC. In a hard fought contest, CCLFC beat Cardiff City Bluebirds 4-1. 

Unfortunately the senior team also narrowly missed out on promotion .

The reserve team managed to win their league. They were unable to gain promotion because the senior team had failed in their bid to win their league.

The youth team joined the South Wales Womens League and putting in  a great performance, coming 4th.

2005/2006

Cardiff City Football Club delivered a bombshell to all the players involved with the club. They said that they could not afford to finance  the womens section and would no longer be affiliated with the teams!!!! They had pulled the teams out of the leagues which meant that they could not play in the English leagues anymore.

After weeks of talks with the FA, FAW and the English Leagues, the FA deemed us to be a new club and thus prevented us from playing league football in England, even though the Club had already made a seamless name change back to Newport City Strikers LFC . This ultimately meant that 99% of the senior squad left us so that they could maintain the higher level of football in England.

Newport City Strikers LFC continues to field a young team in the South Wales League and the Welsh Cup.

To be continued......
