[edit] History
Bodedern had been in the Anglesey League for over fifty-five years. The club is now under the care of Treflyn Jones, a Bodederncaretaker for the last twenty years as well as his sister Bryn Hughes who has been with the club from the age of fifteen. Kevin and Bryn have come through the Bodedern Youth system, as have many of today's team which is a great credit to the Bodedern Youth. The club also welcomes new assistant Rob Hughes who has brought some new coaching ideas to the club.
In 1949 the club finished as Anglesey League Division 2 runners up. Success in this League was added to by finishing as League Champions in 1978 and winning the Megan Cup in 1980. 1981 saw the club finishing the season as runners up for the League, Dargie Cup and Megan Cup. In 1982 the club won Anglesey League Division 2 again. By the late 80's the club was showing much success in Anglesey League Division 1, finishing as runners up for the J W Lees Cup in 1986 and 1989. In 1990 the club finished as Anglesey League Division 1 runners up as well as winning the Megan Cup again. 1991 saw Bodedern achieve a double, as Anglesey League Division 1 Champions and winning the Elias Cup. Success continued in Anglesey League Division 1. In 1999 the club achieved four titles: League Champions, JW Lees Cup winners, Megan Cup winners and Dargie Cup winners. Bodedern then entered the Gwynedd League in 1999. The first season for the club in the Gwynedd League ended with a third place finish, also Barritt Cup runners up. The Barritt Cup is to feature a lot with the club over the next few years and this millennium final was the start. 2001 brought more silverware and another double, the Presidents Cup and the John Smiths Gwynedd Cup, Eryri Shield runners up and fourth place in the Gwynedd League. 2002 was a massive year for the club; The Gwynedd League was won with the team scoring 96 goals in only 24 League matches. The same year the Eryri Shield, Presidents Cup and John Smiths Gwynedd Cup were also won, Boded were Barritt Cup runners up for the second time. The club then entered the Welsh Alliance League for the start of the 2002/03 season. Boded soon proved to be worthy title contenders for the Welsh Alliance League by finishing the first season there in 2003 as runners up, the Barritt Cup also won for the first time. 2003/04 saw Boded win the Barritt Cup again for a second consecutive season, fourth place finish in the League. The 2004/05 season became another landmark for the Club, starting the season with some rare silverware - The Welsh Alliance Charity Cup (also known as the Warwick International Cup), won in August 2004 and finishing the season as Welsh Alliance League Champions, Kevin Hughes receiving the Welsh Alliance Manager of the Year Award. Boded then achieved promotion to the Cymru Alliance League for the start of the 2005/06 season.
