The following season the club ended the campaign in 10th place and again reached the final of the Welsh Amateur Cup, losing 2-1 to Whitchurch Alport. The 1974-75 season saw the club promoted to the second tier of Welsh football for the first time following a 2nd place finish behind eventual champions Blaenavon Blues, despite ending the season level on points.
