After an absence of 22 seasons, Flint will be playing in the top tier of Welsh football once more next season.
The news was announced this afternoon following a meeting of the FAW board.
With Cymru North champions Prestatyn Town having failed in their Tier 1 licence application, as runners up, Flint were eligible for promotion having gained the licence,
Chairman Darryl Williams was ecstatic at the news, and commented : "Getting Flint Town United into the Cymru Premier has been my overriding ambition since becoming Chair five years ago. This means the world, and is a tribute to all the club stalwarts who have stood by it through thick and thin, and it will be fantastic for the supporters and the people of Flint. I would like to pay special thanks to our main sponsors Essity, who have really backed the club over the time I've been involved, and this is just reward for their fantastic support. Of course, the journey doesn't end here. Having achieved one objective we must now stabilise and seek to become an established Cymru Premier side, as we are in it for the long haul. And then, next on my list, is to get our magnificent football club into Europe"
Our Chairman Darryl Williams is pictured celebrating the news with his sons Ed and Tom. And it's also Ed's 21st birthday today, so a double celebration in the Williams household ! Many happy returns Ed from all at Flint Town United.
