| Rhos Aelwyd History & Honours |
The current Rhos Aelwyd club was formed in January 1943 at Capel Mawy in Rhos, but football in the village dates back to 1877. Then a side known as Llanechrugog Hall were beaten one nil by a Wrexham Civil Service side which contained several Welsh Internationals of that time. Since that time several different clubs bearing such colourful names as Rhos Olympic, Rhos Early Closes, Rhos Rangers, Rhos Church and Rhos Albino have borne the name. In 1898 Rhos Eagle Wanderers won the Welsh Amateur Cup with a 6-1 defeat of Shrewsbury Tobacconist Singleton and Coles at Chirk. Forward to 1912 and another Amateur Cup success, this time against local rivals Summerhill at The Wrexham Racecourse ground. Ten years later in 1922 Rhos secured the double of Welsh League (North) championship and league cup. Llannerch Colts repeated the league and cup double several years later. After the war the current club came into being and in 1958 a merger with Ponciau Aelwyd, the newly formed club won the Barritt Cup in 1986. In 1992 Rhos Aelwyd joined the newly formed Cymru Alliance but five years later were relegated to The Welsh National League. In 2007 long serving manager Tony Williams stepped down to be replaced by former Crewe professional Steve Walters and in April 2008 Rhos Aelwyd were able to celebrate as The FA Trophy (formerly the Intermediate Cup) was captured at Plaskynaston with the defeat of local rivals Llangollen. At the end of the 2009-10 season, with Welsh football in the throes of a far reaching restructuring, Rhos won the Welsh National League and were promoted to the Cymru Alliance and a place in the second tier. |
