They began playing their matches at the local park and during this period the committee channelled their efforts to raise funds for a permanent home which resulted in the building of the Ynys Park playing field and pavilion complex in 1996 Since its opening continuous improvements have been made at the ground, and a new 100 seater stand was completed in 2019. Trefelin Boys and Girls Club have won numerous honours at senior level, the first was being crowned [[Port Talbot Football League]] Second Division champions in the 1990–91 season. Continued success saw them become Port Talbot Premier League champions gaining them promotion into the Second Division of the [[South Wales Amateur League]] in the 1994–95 season. In 1995–96 the club gained promotion into the first division as champions, a feat which they repeated again in 2006–07. Trefelin won the FAW trophy in 1999–2000 when they beat Bryntirion Athletic 6-2, and they lifted the John Owen cup in 2011–12 and 2013–14 seasons beating AFC Bargoed on both occasions. |
