List of football seasons involving Coedpoeth and Minera teams

The first football club in Coedpoeth was Lloftwen who there are reports of in January 1878.[1] The next club in the village was Equitable who formed around 1880, and folded around 1884. Equitable entered the Welsh Cup in 1881.[2] A club called Coedpoeth also existed at the same time who competed in the Welsh Cup from 1882–1884. Given that both these clubs appear and disappear at simultaneously it is possible that they were the same club, using interchangeable names depending on the reporter.

In 1884 there are reports of a team called White Stars (Coedpoeth),[3] whilst in 1887 there is reports of a team called North End (Coedpoeth) who played at a ground called The Terrace.[4]

The short lived Minera Rovers and Minera Victoria contested the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1890 and 1891.

By 1898 they were joined in the Denbighshire League by another local team, Minera St Marys. Minera St Marys only lasted one season in this competition, taking on the fixtures of Cerney Swifts and finishing second from bottom.[6]

Adwy United were more competitive in the Denbighshire League, finishing third in 1899.[6] They also won the St Martins Cup beating St Martins 5–0 at The Racecourse, Wrexham.[7] There are reports of Adwy United playing in "the same coloured jerseys" as Chirk.[8] Whilst this does not provide a definite answer on what colours Adwy United wore, it is documented that Chirk played in White and Blue.[9]

Adwy United withdrew from the Denbighshire League in 1900 and merged with Coedpoeth Victoria to form Adwy Victoria. This team finished second in the Denbighshire League in 1901.[10]
