(Welsh – CP Derwyddon) were a football club based in the village of Ruabon near Wrexham, Wales.
It was reported that on 6 October 1872, the opening game of a football club for the district was played at Plasmadoc Park.
[8] On 23 October 1872 a meeting was held by Ruabon Rovers at the Wynnstay Arms where the club committee was selected.
[14] In September 1873 the club was still known as Ruabon Rovers as evidenced in the annual meeting of the club, where a number of influential people, later associated with Druids, were present and held key roles, such as David and George Thomson.
The match which was organised by Kenrick, himself, saw him gain his first cap playing in a full back position.
[20] Drawn against Shropshire Wanderers in the First round, Druids withdrew before the match was played.
The club were allowed to play at Plasmadoc Park by George Hammond Whalley MP.
[24] With their new home Druids once again entered the Welsh Cup and the 1879–80 edition saw the start of an era of success for the Ruabon Club.
After seven years of success in Welsh football Druids would begin to suffer with the advent of professionalism.
In September 1888 at a meeting at the Wynnstay Arms, the club was re-formed when they merged with neighbours Ruabon Wanderers.
By now the Wynnstay Park Ground was fast becoming unsuitable and as the Estate would not allow improvement on the site, Druids began to suffer financially.
[27][a] Despite this new pairing, Druids still faced financial trouble and amalgamated once more in August 1927 with Acrefair United F.C.
