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.
