Football in Rhyl dates back to the 1870s. Rhyl F.C. was formed in 1882 but changed name from time to time. In 1893 the team became Rhyl Athletic and was a founder member of the North Wales Coast League, winning the title in 1894-95.That league disbanded at the end of 1910-11 season. The team joined a new league and operated with the new name Rhyl United for a while before becoming Rhyl Athletic again a few years later. This picture from 1926-27 season (in which the team topped the Welsh League) was provided by Dave Williams.
