Review of Welsh football third division – Y Felinheli – Powys County Times
THE club can trace its roots to the now defunct Port Dinorwic Football Club which existed in the 1890s.
The club folded and rose again in the 1920s and 1930s and had its last stand in the 1960s with the club joining the Caernarfon and District League in 1963 and folding in 1965.
The club was resurrected in 1977 and changed its name to CPD Y Felinheli the following year.
The club won back to back Caernarfon and District League titles in 1982 and 1983 to become founder members of the Gwynedd League which the club won in 1984 to join the Welsh Alliance.
The club ended second in 1992 in the same season as they recorded a record crowd of 600 at Cae Seilo however the club suffered relegation back to the Gwynedd League in 1995.
Following six years in the Gwynedd League the club bounced back to the Welsh Alliance but the club’s fortunes waned with two successive relegations back to the Caernarfon and District League.
In 2014 the club began its road back with the Caernarfon and District League title followed by the Gwynedd League title in 2016 to return to the Welsh Alliance.
