History

Denbigh Town Football Club was formed in 1880 and has remained one of the most popular and highly respected clubs in North Wales football ever since. One of the club's finest achievements came in 1924 when it won both the Welsh Amateur Cup and the North Wales Coast Amateur Cup.
A number of minor successes ensued in the subsequent decades until the club hit a purple patch in the 1970's when they won the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Division One Championship four times and the League Cup on five occasions. Town also landed the North Wales Coast Amateur Cup in 1970 and the North Wales Coast Amateur Cup in 1972. The manager through most of this golden period was John Trevor Roberts who remains one of Denbigh Town's most legendary figures.

After the club left the Wrexham Area League at the turn of the 80's and joined the Clwyd League many trophy-less years followed. The sleeping giant did not awaken until the 1991/92 season when Liverpudlian duo Bill Dawson and Roy Cook-Hannah took over the reins at Central Park. In their first season the club won promotion to the Premier Division, but the biggest highlight was an unforgettable 1-0 North Wales Challenge Cup victory over the fourth placed HFS Loans League semi-professionals of Caernarfon Town before an ecstatic crowd at Central Park. After two seasons in the Clwyd Premier, Town were promoted to the Fitlock Welsh Alliance League 1994/95. After finishing fourth in their first season Town followed up in style by landing the League Championship and Cookson Cup double, the club's finest achievement for almost 20 years. Denbigh took their place in the Cymru Alliance for the start of the 1996/97 and enjoyed several good seasons at that level.

Denbigh joined the Welsh Alliance League for 2002/03 and finished 3rd, reached the semi-final of the Barritt Cup and won the Alves Cup with Roy Cook-Hannah back at the helm. Roy Cook-Hannah resigned on 8th December 2003. Clwyd Williams and Nick Hailes were installed as caretakers on the 11th December 2003 with the aim of fulfilling the remaining fixtures.

Denbigh Town also won the Welsh Alliance Fair Play League for 2005 / 2006 & 2006 / 2007. In 2007 Denbigh Town were crowned Welsh Alliance League Champions and Cookson Cup Winners. Tim Dyer stepped down at the end of 2008 / 2009 season.
Steve Jones was appointed Manager with Dean Martin as his Assistant. Under the new regime Denbigh Town finished the 2009 / 2010 Cymru Alliance season in 10th place. Unfortunately, due to the Welsh Premier Super 12, six clubs were relegated from the Welsh Premier and the 3 feeder leagues all promoted a club to the Cymru Alliance which meant only the top 7 survived in the Cymru Alliance thus the club were relegated to the Welsh Alliance League.
