Penrhyndeudraeth Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-Droed Penrhyndeudraeth, also abbreviated Penrhyn) is a football team, playing in the Welsh Alliance League. The club was re-formed in 1981 and plays their home fixtures at Maes Y Parc, Penrhyndeudraeth.
History
Clwb Pêl-Droed PENRHYNDEUDRAETH Football Club
Although it is believed that football was played in Penrhyndeudraeth in the 1900s, and again by a team known as Penrhyndeudraeth Rovers in the 1910s, there are no real records for that period. Competitive football in Penrhyndeudraeth can, however, be traced back to the 1930s, with the team of the village’s Cooke’s Explosive Works, Cooke’s United FC, involved in the then Lleyn & District League during the 1937/38 and 1938/39 seasons, and the Lleyn Peninsula League after the 2nd World War in the 1946/47. In the 1948/49 the team joined the Welsh League (North) and they were involved in that League until 1950/51. The team then joined the Cambrian Coast League for the 1951/52 season, and records show involvement, with limited success, until the end of the 1957/58 season.
A new club, Penrhyndeudraeth United, was formed and joined the Caernarfon & District League at the start of the 1966/67 season, but that club folded, after three unsuccessful seasons, at the end of the 1968/69 season.

Clwb Pêl-Droed Penrhyndeudraeth, in its current form, was formed in 1981, joining the Sain Caernarfon & District League. Matches were then played on the Cae Sarn pitch, in the centre of the village, and despite various problems with the nature of the facilities, the club grew from strength to strength, winning the League Championship in the 1984/85 and 1985/86 seasons; Alves Cup in 1984/85; Will Evans Cup in 1985/86 and Moorings Cup in 1984/85 and 1985/86. Promotion was gained to the Gwynedd League for the start of the 1986/87 season, when the Club also moved to its current Maes y Parc ground. Honours achieved in the following seasons were the Wyn Burrows (Most Sporting Team) Trophy at the end of the 1991/92, 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons; the Heritage Homes Eryri Shield in 1995/96, President’s Cup runners-up 1996/97, but winners of that Cup in 1997/98, as well as being Gwynedd League runners-up at the end of the 1998/99 season. Despite an opportunity of promotion to the Welsh Alliance League at that time, the team disbanded and the 1999/2000 season saw the Club go an entire season without winning a single League match, and relegation followed to the Caernarfon & District League.
The Club saw many managerial and squad changes, with little or no success, until the 2009/2010 season, when the team were finalists in the League’s Gwynedd Safeflue Cup and their League position led to promotion from Caernarfon & District Division 2 to Division 1. The team were then runners-up in Division 1 and winners of the Kon-X Wales Cup and Moorings Cup in 2010/11 under the management of Gareth Piercy and Richard Davies. During the next pre-season, Gareth Piercy resigned as manager, Richard Davies took over the vacant post adding Bleddyn Williams as his assistant. Promotion was eventually and belatedly gained to the Gwynedd League and the team achieved a League treble, League Championship and winners of both the Gwynedd Safeflue Shield and Bob Owen Memorial Shield, at the end of the season. The 2012/13 season, the Club’s first ever at Welsh Alliance League level, again proved to be a successful campaign – finishing 3rd in the League, winning the Take Stock Van Hire Cup (for 2nd Division Clubs), runners-up in the Mawddach Challenge Cup and also receiving a trophy for the best official programme in the League’s 2nd Division. Last season saw the Club being champions of the Welsh Alliance 2nd Division, finalists in the Take Stock Van Hire Cup and semi-finalists in the FAW Trophy, as well as winning the trophy for the best official programme in the League’s 2nd Division, for the second season in succession. This season sees the Club again competing at its highest level in Welsh football.
