History
The history of football in Holywell can be traced back to a club that was simply known as Holywell, and it is credited that it was founded by a Colonel J.Llewellyn Williams. During those early days, Holywell played their football on a ground known as Ffordd Fer ('Short Way'), which was located where the local high school is now situated, and also wore red and white as their strip, just as the current team wears today in its home kit.
