The Muffler is the affectionately inherited name of the Maesglas Sports & Social Club, no-one quite knows when this name was coined but it stuck and has stood the test of time for many decades none the less.
The name apparently came from the scarves that the patrons of the club wore to brave the cold, while working in the labour intensive industries that were prevalent throughout Newport at the time. Though there are other explanations of where the name came from, we have been unable to substantiate them.
Our branding and identity harks back to the lore that surrounds 'The Muffler' name, which has become synonymous with the club and it's position in the community.
