History

Llandegfan Swifts were founder members of the Anglesey League in 1897. [1] [2] Llandegfan continued activity in local football during the 1900s. [3]

In 1937–38 Llandegfan were Anglesey League champions. [4] Their second Anglesey League title was achieved in 1973–74. [5] The following season they won the NWCFA Junior Cup. [6]

In 2012 Llandegfan merged with Sunday league team Antelope FC (founded in 2010) to form Llandegfan Antelope, [7] but this new club folded in 2014. A new club was formed in 2017, named Llandegfan FC. [8] [9]

In 2020 they were announced as members of the newly-formed North Wales Coast West Football League Division One. [10] However the 2020–21 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they did not enter the league for the following season. [11] In 2023 the club committee looked to reform the club, however these plans failed. [12]

Llandegfan is also believed to hold the record of biggest win in North Wales football history, a 37–1 win over Holyhead Town reserves in the 1972–73 season. [13] [14] [15]

Ground

In 2020 the club's ground was renamed to Parc Eurfryn (or Eurfryn Park) in honour of joint-chairman Eurfryn Davies. [16]
