The name of Waterloo has been synonymous with a 19th century battle in Belgium, a London railway station and the 1974 Eurovision winning song by ABBA.
However, another Waterloo is known amongst some football supporters in the shape of Waterloo Rovers.
The MMP with Norman Lloyd Mid Wales League (East) outfit are mere youngsters, compared to their near neighbours at Welshpool Town, as the current incarnation only reformed in 1978.
Although the Montgomeryshire club can trace their roots back to a pub team, from the Waterloo area of the town, based originally at the Grapes Inn.
Rovers made a brief appearance in the Montgomeryshire League following the Second World War but would not return to the local football scene for another quarter of a century.
The Welshpool club's history may date back over a century but it is known that Rovers enjoyed a brief spell in the Montgomeryshire League during the immediate post-war era.
The club was formed by brothers Bert and Tom James, playing on what was previously a tip, and finished in the lower reaches during the 1948/49 and 1949/50 campaigns.
Rovers joined forces with Guilsfield, who were without a team at that time, in readiness for the 1950/51 season but this arrangement only lasted for two seasons without any success of note on the pitch.
The current incarnation of Waterloo Rovers, which reformed in 1978 with Bert and Tom's younger brother, Fred James, installed as club president, started life in the Montgomeryshire League Second Division for the 1979/80 season.
Rovers gained instant promotion to the top-flight after finishing in third place before finding themselves in the same position in the first division 12 months later.
The Welshpool-based outfit would consolidate their membership of the county league's top section during the 1980s.
Rovers achieved their highest finish to that point of fourth place at the conclusion of the 1988/87 campaign. However, after struggling in the lower reaches during the following term, the Maesydre club suffered relegation some 12 months later.
The following term saw Waterloo claim the second division championship, finishing 10 points clear of Guilsfield, as they made an instant return to the top section of the league.
After finishing in sixth and fourth place, respectively, during their first two seasons back in the first division, the committee decided to take the ambitious step-up into senior football for the first time.
Despite two mid-table finishes in the Mid Wales League, as well as lifting the Montgomeryshire Challenge Cup for the first time in 1992/93, Rovers dropped back into the Montgomeryshire League Second Division.
The Maesydre outfit were promoted at the conclusion of the 1995/96 campaign, having finished runners-up to Llanrhaeadr by a two-point margin.
The following campaign saw Rovers claim the first division championship at their first attempt and complete a double success by lifting the league cup.
The Welshpool club regained their championship crown in 1998/99 under the management of Keith Gamble, after finishing 10 points clear of their old foes at Llanrhaeadr, earning promotion back to senior football after a hiatus of six seasons.
The Rovers’ return to the MMP with Norman Lloyd Mid Wales League saw the club finish in sixth place, which remains their best final placing in the pyramid system to date but the club flirted with relegation over the next five seasons.
The Maesydre outfit started slowly but surely to move-up the table over the ensuing campaigns, with a tenth-placed finish in 2008/09, marking a change in their fortunes.
The following season saw Rovers in the lower-half of the table for most of the campaign that was noted for their Central Wales Cup triumph over Llanrhaeadr under the management of Dave Proctor.
Off the pitch, Rovers nearly swapped homes with their arch rivals a few years earlier, with Welshpool Town looking for a ground which could be developed to remain in the top-flight.
The Lilywhites were unable to improve their own home, given that it is shared with the town’s cricket club, meaning the club were unable to enclose the facilities.
The proposal to swap grounds fell through in 2009 due to logistical issues and the downturn in the economy.
Rovers worked hard to improve their own facilities, installing hard standing around the pitch and a refreshment area, in addition to changing facilities at the ground.
The 2011/12 season saw the two clubs experience their maiden league meetings at first team level following Welshpool Town's relegation from the Cymru Alliance.
Rovers recorded a league double over their rivals from across Maesydre, including a 10-1 thumping on Boxing Day and also won the league cup.
Rovers also reached the Montgomeryshire Cup in 2013/14 but were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Carno.
Two years later the club dropped back into the Montgomeryshire League due to a shortage of players and won the title in 2017 and returned to the Mid Wales League the following year.
Despite the Maesydre outfit having worked hard to improve their facilities, the club decided not to apply for a place in one of the FAW's new tier three leagues and contented themselves with a place in the MMP with Norman Lloyd Mid Wales League (East).
Waterloo Rovers will no doubt be ready to do battle when the time comes for next season to get underway, and it will be a case of "The winner takes it all" in this newly-established league.
