[edit] Club History
In the late 1980s Ken Chambers and others, seeing the need for a new football club formed, in 1990, Holyhead Hotspur FC. At that time there were four other local football clubs in the town operating in different leagues of the North Wales Coast Football Association. By 1997, with the success of Hotspurs, all the clubs had amalgamated, and Holyhead Hotspur F C became the modern day successor to the "Harbourmen" of years ago, and formed a senior team, a reserve team and seven junior/youth teams. The Club has enjoyed great success. In successive seasons 1995/6, 1996/7 and 1997/8 the Anglesey League, Gwynedd League and Welsh Alliance League Championships were won, and this was the focus which resulted in the amalgamation of the Holyhead clubs. The season 1998/9 saw the new club promoted to the Cymru Alliance League and beginning life in the second tier of Welsh football. In the past four years Hotspur have consolidated their position in the Cymru Alliance League and the reserves have likewise consolidated their position in the Gwynedd League. The 2002 finish of ninth represents the best to date.
