Abergavenny Town Football Club is a Welsh professional association football club based in the town of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, who play in the Welsh Football League Division Three. The club was founded in June 2014, eleven months after the former club Abergavenny Thursdays folded, citing a lack of players as the reason.[1]
The new club was entered into the Gwent County League First Division for the 2014-15 season, and finished the season as champions of that division, to earn a place in the Third Division of the Welsh Football League, and move a step closer to achieving the long-term goal of a place in the Welsh Premier League - the position last held by the old Abergavenny club in the 1992-93 season, when the League of Wales was first formed.[2]
