PENYCAE Football Club have been a mainstay in the Wrexham Area League since their inception in 1982.

The club enjoyed immediate success with successive promotions in 1983,1984 and 1985 culminating in promotion to the Wrexham Premier League.

The Cae had to be patient for their premier league title which arrived in 1994 and promotion to the Cymru Alliance with the village club enjoying three years in the second tier before relegation - the first in their history in 1998.

The club has since been among the front runners in the Wrexham Premier League though earning an unwanted reputation as nearly men following four consecutive runner-up finishes between 2001 and 2004.

Another runner-up finish followed in 2009 before the championship was finally won in 2011 to secure a return to the Cymru Alliance.

The club endured four tough campaigns in the second tier before relegation in 2015.

On the field the club has struggled in recent years but off the pitch developments have seen their Afoneitha home rebranded as the SoccerMillion Riverside Arena while continuing to operate a thriving junior set-up.
