History

The first football club in Coedpoeth was Lloftwen who there are reports of in January 1878. [1] The next club in the village was Equitable who formed around 1880, and folded around 1884. Equitable entered the Welsh Cup in 1881. [2] A club called Coedpoeth also existed at the same time who competed in the Welsh Cup from 1882–1884. Given that both these clubs appear and disappear at simultaneously it is possible that they were the same club, using interchangeable names depending on the reporter.

In 1884 there are reports of a team called White Stars (Coedpoeth), [3] whilst in 1887 there is reports of a team called North End (Coedpoeth) who played at a ground called The Terrace. [4]

The short lived Minera Rovers and Minera Victoria contested the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1890 and 1891. By 1892 Adwy United had emerged to represent the area. [5] Adwy United reached the Semi Final of Welsh Amateur Cup in 1895. By 1898 they were joined in the Denbighshire League by another local team, Minera St Marys. Minera St Marys only lasted one season in this competition, taking on the fixtures of Cerney Swifts and finishing second from bottom. [6]

Adwy United were more competitive in the Denbighshire League, finishing third in 1899. [6] They also won the St Martins Cup beating St Martins 5–0 at The Racecourse, Wrexham. [7] There are reports of Adwy United playing in "the same coloured jerseys" as Chirk. [8] Whilst this does not provide a definite answer on what colours Adwy United wore, it is documented that Chirk played in White and Blue. [9]

Adwy United withdrew from the Denbighshire League in 1900 and merged with Coedpoeth Victoria to form Adwy Victoria. This team finished second in the Denbighshire League in 1901. [10]

Coedpoeth United were first mentioned in 1907 when they joined the Wrexham & District League. They finished second in the Second Division and were promoted to the First Division for the 1908–09 season where they finished third. The 1908–09 season also saw the introduction of a Coedpoeth United Reserves team in the Second Division, who were joined in the league by another team from the village, Coedpoeth St Davids. In 1909 the team also reached the final of the Denbighshire & Flintshire Charity Cup, [11] and St Martins Cup. [12] Coedpoeth United withdrew from the Wrexham & District League in 1910.

This is the last record of any football teams in Coedpoeth prior to World War One.

Following the end of hostilities Adwy White Stars competed for one season in the 1919-20 Ffrith & District League, a league in which Coedpoeth Athletic competed in the following season. Coedpoeth United re-emerged in 1920 in the North Wales Alliance League Division 2, a competition in which they finished as Runners Up, only missing out on being Champions on goals scored. [13] From 1921-1924 Coedpoeth United entered the newly formed Welsh National League (North). [14]

Coedpoeth FC were reformed in July 1935, [15] and between 1935-1938 the competed in the Wrexham & District League. [16]

Following the end of World War II, Coedpoeth re-emerged in the newly formed Welsh National League Wrexham Area East. They were Champions of the East Division in 1948 and 1949. The 1949 League winning team had a 100% record, and was promoted to Welsh National League Wrexham Area Division 1. The club stayed in Division 1 for two seasons, before being relegated in 1951. The club finished as Runners Up in Division 2 in 1953 achieving Promotion back to Division 1. The team was immediately relegated again, and played a final season in Division 2 before folding at the end of the 1955 season.

In 1964 almost a decade after the previous Coedpoeth team had folded, Coedpoeth Sports Club entered Welsh National League Wrexham Area Division 3. Coedpoeth SC were immediately successful and were Champions in their first season gaining Promotion to Division 2. Their stay in Division 2 lasted two seasons as in 1967 they were Champions and Promoted again. The club lasted 5 seasons in Division 1 before finishing 15th in 1972 and dropping two leagues back to Division 3. The club initially struggled back in Division 3, however in 1974 Coedpoeth SC were Champions and promoted. 1976 saw the club complete a League and Cup double as they won Division 2 alongside the Horace Wynne Cup. The club finished 10th back in Division 1, however folded in 1977 after being knocked out of the Welsh Cup in the Qualifying Round.

Coedpoeth once again reformed for the start of the 1980-81 season and finished Second in Welsh National League Wrexham Area Division 4 however were not Promoted. The following the season the club went one better and were Champions of the Division 4. This marked the beginning of an astonishing rise, as the club claimed the Division 3 title at its first attempt, and finished as Division 2 Runners Up straight away too. The club finished 13th in its first season in Division 1 and was subsequently relegated. The club remained in Division 2 before folding in 1989.

The current Adult section of the club reformed in 1999 and joined the Welsh National League. [17]
