1963

From Sid Grant History of Coalfields Soccer

This section is unclear. I think Grant got his years wrong but I'll follow up on that

[In the 1962 season] there were signs of a recovery  with 16 wms and one loss. In the semi-final, Weston beat Belmont­-Swansea by 3 to l and beat Dudley by 2 to 1 in the 2nd Division final. It's final eleven comprised: W. Mahoney, C. Allanson, T. Harper, B. Davies, E. Kemp Jnr., R. Morris, J. Sneddon, N. Jackson, J. Drink­water, M. Hamilton, G. Heaney. 

That success won promotion back to 1st Division and a new era of triumph was well under way.
