Holyhead Hotspur Football Club
Click button for 5 Day Weather Forecast for Holyhead from BBC Weather:
Holyhead Hotspur F.C. was founded in 1990, when several prominent people involved in local football formed the Club. At the time of its formation there were four other local Clubs in the town operating in different leagues of the North Wales Coast Football Association. By 1997, with the success of Hotspur, all the Clubs had amalgamated, and Holyhead Hotspur F.C. became the modern successor to the ’Harbourmen’ of years ago, and formed a senior team, a reserve team and seven junior/youth teams. The seven junior/youth teams operate as Holyhead Hotspur Peibio in recognition of their past association with Peibio and the work done by many people over the years in fostering junior/youth football at Peibio. The Club has enjoyed great success as can be seen from the Club Honours. In successive seasons 1995/6, 1996/7, 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.
Work is progressing on the new ground. The new turf is ready for leveling and with the installation of 500 seats in the stand and the boarding out of the ground, Holyhead will have a tidy ground. Most of the other facilities required for the Welsh Premier are pretty much in place, so it will not be long before Holyhead establish another ground within the Cymru Alliance worthy of staging top-tier football and very nice to see. The season 1998/9 saw the reserve team promoted to the Gwynedd League and the senior team promoted to the Cymru Alliance League. The Cymru Alliance League is North Wales’s feeder league to the Welsh Premier League. This semi professional league operates not only along the North Wales Coast but in the Wrexham, Aberystwyth and Mid Wales areas. It is a very competitive league and no match result can be taken for granted.
In the past seven years the senior side has consolidated its position in the Cymru Alliance League, and the reserves have likewise consolidated their position in the Gwynedd League.
Take the A55 to Anglesey and follow the signs for Holyhead. Once you reach Holyhead you will come to a large roundabout. Turn left onto Kingsland Road and take the B4545 heading for Trearddur. The New Oval is about half a mile down this road on your right. Turn into Holyhead Leisure Centre and follow the road down to the car park in front of the ground where you will find two pitches either side of the entrance.
