History
In 1992 after many years of discussion the inevitable amalgamation of Druids
United and Cefn Albion took place to end the internal village soccer rivalry
in the village of Cefn Mawr. The new look club took the bold step of
applying to join the new Cymru Alliance Football League. The joint resources
of the clubs could be focused on a revival of football fortunes in the
village of Cefn Mawr. In 1999 Cefn Druids became Champions of the Cymru
Alliance and were promoted into the League of Wales, finishing a respectable
13th in its first season in the national league.
