History of Corwen FC
The earliest mention of football in Corwen is their entry into the inaugural Welsh cup in 1877. After beating neighbours Bala 1-0 after a reply they lost heavily to Bangor.
Corwen's recent revival started as early as 1966 in the wake of England's World Cup success when a new committee was formed. Success was soon to follow gaining promotion to the 1st Division from the 3rd Division in 2 seasons of the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area). This progress however did not continue however due to the retirement of players and others moving on to other clubs.Continues below
In 1986/87 things improved again and within two seasons they were in the reformed Premier division, winning the Division 2 League and cup double in 86/87 and the Division 1 League in 87/88.
In 94/95 and again in 97/98 they finished runners up in the League but season 98/99 they at last managed to win the championship. Promotion to the Cymru Alliance proved too testing for the team so they returned to the Welsh National Premier Division the following season.
However, success is not only down to the first team, a very young Reserves team are holding their own in the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Division 2, and a very progressive Youth structure is in place with the Under 14's winning the presitious North East wales Cup in 2001-02.
Also Corwen have both a Ladies & Girls team who play in North Wales Leagues, the Ladies team have reached the last eight of the Womens Welsh Cup twice and they won the inaugural N. Wales Womens Cup in 2003.
