History
In 1990 Connah's Quay became founder members of the Cymru Alliance
positioning them for admission to the League of Wales on its formation in
1992. Nomads reached the semi final of the Welsh Cup in 1993 but lost 1-2 to
Rhyl FC on aggregate. They went one better in 1998, going to extra time
but the Nomads lost out to Bangor after leading for a long spell.
The Nomads recently left their long-time home at the Halfway House - a
ground that hosted football as far back as the 19th century - for a new
ground at Deeside College.
