History

[edit]

For a full history see; List of football seasons involving Brymbo teams

Formed sometime around 1900 Brymbo Victoria were runners up in the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1908.[2] They joined The Combination midway through the 1909/10 season, taking on the results of Birkenhead who had resigned mid season,[3] finishing bottom of the league. Upon joining The Combination their colours were reported as being red and white.[4] The 1910–11 season saw an upturn in fortunes and they finished fourth. However they folded at the end of the season. The name returned in 2017, over 100 years since the previous club last played.
