History
[edit ]The club was formed on Tuesday 22 October 1872, at the National Schoolroom by members of Llangollen Cricket Club, under the name Llangollen.[1] Their first match was played on The Recreation Ground on Saturday 26 October 1872.[2] The club reformed again on Monday 10 September 1877.[3] The club has the honour of playing in the inaugural Welsh Cup competition. On 22 October 1880 the club changed their name to Berwyn Rangers.[4] [5]
On 22 October 1880, the club changed its name to Berwyn Rangers.[6] [7] Under its new name, it had its best run in the Welsh Cup, reaching the semi-final in 1883–84; the semi-final was played in Chirk, but bad weather left the pitch resembling a "ploughed field", and Berwyn went down to opponents Oswestry 2–1.[8]
Colours
