History edit
The club was formed in 2005, with many of the players that season having played for the village's junior teams including those who won the Gwyrfai League under-12 competition in 1992. The club was confirmed as one of three new clubs to join the Caernarfon & District League for the 2005–06 season. The team's first friendly took place in July against Rhiwlas. The following month saw the club's first competitive game against Caernarfon Borough.[1] The club finished the season as league champions.[2] The club were promoted to the Gwynedd League for following season, and finished 11th, from 16 clubs in the division.[3] The following season saw more success with the club finishing as league champions.[4] The club were promoted again, this time to the Welsh Alliance League and finished 13th from 17 clubs.[5] The club left the league ahead of the 2009–10 season and folded due to a shortage of players.[6][7]
The club reformed and returned to Caernarfon & District League in Division One for the 2010–11 season and immediately achieved more success, winning the title.[8] The first season back in the Gwynedd League saw them finish in fourth place.[9] The following season they finished seventh before in the 2013–14 season they finished bottom of the league.[10] In a remarkable turnaround the following season they finished as league champions.[11] Promoted back to the Welsh Alliance League as Division Two side, the club finished third in the 2015–16 season.[12]
In May 2017, the club resigned from the Welsh Alliance League with two games of the season remaining, and their record in the league for the 2016–17 was expunged.[13] The club folded shortly afterwards.
