History
[edit]The first Henllan club was formed in 1905, and played in the Rhyl & District League from 1919 to 1921.[2][3]
Henllan FC was formed in 1930. They joined the Llandyrnog & District Summer League in 1933 and won the league title at the first attempt, with an unbeaten record of 7 wins and 7 draws in 14 matches. In 1934 they fell to mid-table but regained the league title the following year. After World War II Henllan initially struggled, but went on to win two league titles, the North Wales Times Shield, and the Chandler Cup in the 1950s. In the 1960s and 1970s they won three more league titles and two more shields.[4]
In 2017 Henllan formed a winter league side for the first time, entering the Vale of Clwyd and Conwy Football League.[5] In 2020 they were announced as members of the newly formed North Wales Coast East Football League, and were placed into Division One.[6]
In 2024 the club formed a women's team, joining the North Wales Women's Football League.[7][8]
