Buckley Town F.C.
Summary
Buckley Town Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-Droed Tref Bwcle) is a Welsh football team based in Buckley, Flintshire, Wales. They currently play in the Cymru North, the second tier of Welsh football.
Buckley is an established football centre in North Wales and during the history of football in the town a number clubs have been the town's pre–eminent team – two of which prior to 1977 when the current team was founded, were known as Buckley Town.
Subsequent to the game first being introduced in the area around 1860 a club named Belmont Swifts was established and this formed the basis of what would later become Buckley Victoria Football Club. This team had their own pitch at Mill Lane and in the early to mid 1890's fielded teams in the Denbigh and Flintshire League and the Cheshire and District Junior League (from which they withdrew mid 1894–95 season).
In 1887 the first iteration of Buckley Town football club was formed and in 1895 they were competing alongside Buckley Victoria in the Denbigh & Flintshire League, playing on the Buckley cricket ground. In 1896 the 'Town' joined both the Liverpool & Wirral League (and subsequently the Wirral & District League) and also the higher ranked West Cheshire League. From being the West Cheshire's bottom placed team in 1896–97, the following season Buckley Town were 1897–98 West Cheshire League champions and thereby awarded the Pyke Cup. For the first time that season the league also included Buckley Victoria . The 'Town' began the 1898–99 season playing in the Cheshire League but financial pressures saw the club cease to play (and have their record expunged) – they also failed to fulfill their fixtures in the Wirral & District League.
Buckley Victoria existed alongside the 'Town' club and were similarly from 1897 members of both the West Cheshire League and also the Wirral and District league. The 'Vics' won the North West Coast Junior Cup in 1897. They continued as members of the West Cheshire League until 1900 and then for the 1900–01 season joined The Combination – when they joined the league it mostly comprised clubs from the Liverpool and North Wales.
