Club History
Llanllyfni Football Club was established during the summer of 2005. There is no official recollection of a club existing in the village before this time; therefore this is the birth of a new football club. There is, however, strong evidence that other clubs have used King George V (Playing Field) to play their home games, including Llanllyfni junior teams. In fact, most of the squad in the clubs maiden season (2005/06) were members of the successful Llanllyfni junior side that won the Under 12's Gwyrfai League in 1992.
Why was the club formed?
Llanllyfni has always been a very football orientated village and most of the village's lads played weekly for various clubs during previous seasons, discussions arose between friends regarding the possibility of starting a football club in Llanllyfni. The general feeling amongst the players was that they would much rather pull on the jersey of their home village than those of a different area. It was quite obvious, after that, that the squad could maintain itself and work began on forming the club officially.
During June 2005, Kevin Sheret and Llyr Huws took the reins and following weeks of hard work Llanllyfni Football Club was registered on the eleventh hour. After appointing various officials and a management team, it was confirmed that Llanllyfni would be the last of three new clubs entering the Safeflue Caernarfon & District League that season.
The team was lead to victory by their manager, Kevin Sheret, in their first friendly match against Rhiwlas in July. Rhys Roberts scored the clubs first ever goal as the team comfortably ran home 2-0 winners.
On the 13th of August 2005, Llanllyfni Football Club arrived on the football scene with a bang in their first official outing. League title favorites Caernarfon Borough were the visitors to King George V field and were comfortably beaten by 3 goals to 1 - with Iwan Wyn Williams scoring the clubs first competitive goal.
The rest as they say is history.
