Newport Corinthians Football Club is an association football team based in the city of Newport, South Wales. They currently play in the Gwent County League.

## History[edit]

Newport Corinthians AFC was formed in 1961 by two friends, Alan Merton and Hedley Morgan as they wanted to play football together along with their friends and family. The club started off with humble beginnings, playing out of various pubs and clubs in the Newport and District League. Tredegar Park, Duffryn and Alfa Steel were pitches and parks used before finally settling at Coronation Park. With just a pitch and a small blue shed the club were determined to grow and establish its roots as a Football Club in Newport. During these years, The Corries had great success in the District and Gwent County Leagues as well as the domestic cups. As a result of this, in 1990 the current clubhouse was built to match the accomplishments that were made on the field.

In 2021, the Newport band Goldie Lookin Chain sponsored the team in their 60th anniversary season.[1]
