Here's a blast from the past. Some of these are still banging about to this day!

The Second Team played against Penyfan
Utd at Fairwood in the Darch Cup but they also lost 1-2. The Killay goal was scored by K. Gill.

This photo was taken on the 21st of March
1987 against Ponthenri and Killay won the game 10-0 with goals from A.Howarth (3), I.Howarth, R.Howarth, K.Merchant, K.Hartnoll,
M.Turner (2), K.Wiltshire
1st XI Division Two runners-up 1983:
Front Row (Right to Left):
Andy "Stopper" Mort, Craig Fleay, Martin Preuss, Craig Gill, Micky Fleet
Back Row (Right to Left):
Peter Mainwaring,
Billy White, Steve "Louis" Lewis, Dai Nash, Gary Stones, Andy Thomas, Simon "Henry" Davis
The
team had undoubtedly the best forward line in the division and deserved to win the title but finished an eventual close second
even though they beat their closest rivals in crunch matches at Dunvant Park towards the back-end of the season.
Only Five or Six of the team survived to the next season. Craig Gill scored 51 goals and went
straight into the Swansea Football Combination Team (a
kind of Swansea second team) whilst they were
in the dizzy heights of the 1st Division (the equivalent of the now Premiership).
Craig who is possibly the best striker Killay have ever had went on to play for the
likes of Yeovil Town and Merthyr Tydfil.
