They won the cup (now renamed the Welsh Intermediate Cup) in 1989. In the league, the teams fortunes waned until they won the title again in 1978, and four more times before they were invited to join the Cymru Alliance in 1990. In 1992 they became founder members of the League of Wales. Caersws won the League Cup in 2000-01 and 2001-02, and played in the Intertoto Cup, being defeated 3-1 on aggregate by PFC Marek of Bulgaria. Biggest victories and losses Biggest win: 20-1 v.
