Connah's Quay & Shotton F.C.
Former association football club in Wales
Connah's Quay & Shotton United F.C. was a Welsh football team based at Connah's Quay in Flintshire. It is commonly shortened in print to Connah's Quay & Shotton as well as just Connah's Quay.
The club formed in 1905 as Connah's Quay Twenties. They signed on the majority of the players from the recently folded Connah's Quay club (1890-1905).[1] They rented land at the rear of the Halfway House Hotel from the Northgate Brewery, and joined the Chester and District League Division 1. Two years later they merged with local rivals Hawarden Bridge, and now named as Connah's Quay & Shotton United, they joined The Combination league. Later in the 1920s they were playing in the Welsh National League (North) as a fully professional outfit in 1922, having spent 2 years in the Cheshire County League from 1920.
The club played in the English FA Cup during their time[2][3] and re-joined the Cheshire County League in 1929.[4] They had joined the Cheshire League again after an unsuccessful application to the Football League in 1929.[5] They were runners-up to Port Vale in the 1929-30 campaign, they slipped to 18th the following season before disbanding in November 1931, halfway through the 1931–32 season.
