Cae/Ground


CAE GLANTRAETH, TREFDRAETH, BODORGAN, ANGLESEY

Glantraeth Football Club was founded in 1984 after landowner Iolo Owen agreed to a football pitch being laid on a piece of his land adjacent to the Glantraeth Restaurant, hence the club's name. Anglesey's own 'Field of Dreams' is idyllically located in the middle of beautiful open countryside within the historic rural community of Trefdraeth, Bodorgan, midway between the villages of Malltraeth and Bethel with stunning views of Snowdonia and situated close to Newborough Forest and the Blue Flag beach at Llanddwyn Island.

Since 1984 the club has progressed from the Second Division of the Anglesey League to Champions of the Cymru Alliance. During that period the pitch has been enclosed and levelled, a 72 seat stand has been built, a covered standing area erected behind one goal, improved drainage has been installed and a changing room block for players and officials purpose built.

Over the past few years a canteen has been erected at Cae Glantraeth, the ground has been fenced off from surrounding farmland, concrete hardstanding to link up main spectator areas has been laid and new spectator barriers and toilets have now been erected. The area between the changing rooms and the entrance to the pitch has now been tarmacked and the main stand has been refurbished with new tip-up seats.
