History

The club was established as Canton Liberal FC in 2006, named after a local social club, and initially played in the Cardiff & District League. In their first four seasons they won each divisional title. They were champions of the Premier Division in the 2012–13 season, joining the South Wales Amateur League Division Two, where they were champions in 2014–15. They joined the newly formed South Wales Alliance League for the 2015–16 season, and were again league champions, gaining promotion to the Premier Division for the 2016–17 season.

Christopher Dye became the first player to make 500 appearances for the club, spanning 13 seasons.

Promotion to the third tier

During that season Canton had the strongest defence in the league, conceding 31 goals in 28 games, which was better than the league winners Cardiff Corinthians. Canton scored a total of 87 goals, which was second best in the league. They also reached the final of the J.Owen Cup but were well beaten 1-0 by Cardiff Cosmopolitan.
