They were to play in the Ardal Leagues North East, which is in the third tier of the Welsh football league system,[1] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales, the country's football association cancelled what would have been the Ardal Leagues' inaugural 2020–21 season on 4 February 2021[2] and the club announced its withdrawal from the league on 26 March.[3]
For the 2021–22 season they were admitted to the Mid Wales Football League East Division.[4] They welcomed their return to Welsh Football with the signing of Pontesbury born Robert Hartshorn, the signing demonstrated a great sign of intent from The Canaries owing to the players vast experience and ability. The start of the 2023-24 season included the transfers of some promising youngsters, such as midfielder Thomas Halliday, and former Churchstoke forward Luis Davies.
