History

In the 1905–06 season, Bontnewydd had a team in the Caernarfonshire & District League. [1]

In 1987–88 the club were Caernarfon & District League champions. [2] This gained them promotion to the Gwynedd League, however they only stayed in the league for one season before folding. [3] [4]

Bontnewydd returned to senior football in 2004, rejoining the Caernarfon & District League. In the final game of the season, the team needed a win to win the league title. They did so, winning 4–0, to win the league title ahead of Caernarfon Borough on goal difference. [5] The club then joined the Gwynedd League. [6]

Bontnewydd won the Tarian Safeflue Shield in the 2015–16 season, [7] and again in 2016–17. [8] In 2017–18 they reached the final of the NWCFA Junior Cup, but lost 4–2 to Nefyn United after extra time. [9]

Simon Jones became chairman in 2018, and took over as manager during the 2019–20 season. [10]

In 2020 the club were announced as members of the newly-formed North Wales Coast West Football League, and placed into Division One. [11] The new league's first season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was first played in 2021–22. Bontnewydd finished ninth, and finished third in the following season. [12]

In the 2023–24 season they won the Division One title, [13] going unbeaten in the league, [10] and also winning the Division One Cup. [14] As a result, they were promoted to the Premier Division. [10]

In their first season in the Premier Division, the team finished 13th out of 16 teams. [12] At the end of the season, Simon Jones stepped down as manager. [10] For the following season, Chris Owen was appointed as the first team manager. He had previously coached at Nantlle Vale, Caernarfon Town's academy, and Bontnewydd's reserve team. [15]

The club plays at Cae Stanley. In 2024 a 100-seater stand was built in memory of Josh Lloyd Roberts, who had played for Bontnewydd until he died on 2 June 2023, at 19 years old. [21] This new stand was necessary for the club to meet the ground requirements for promotion to tier 4. [22]
