Druids United F.C.

As the country's people tried to recover following the events of the War, football resumed in Acrefair with Druids United joining the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Division One for the start of the 1945–46 season.

With a new home and some modest investment, the 1956–57[13] season saw the Druids gain a second runners-up spot, behind Welshpool, along with a healthy run in the Welsh Amateur Cup.

[4] Using profits from the cup run the club bought land in the heart of Cefn Mawr, which once sited by the Plas Kynaston Colliery railway sidings.

[1] With two runners-up spots in the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Division One in 1958–59 and 1959–60,[14][15] Druids United's time at The Bont the most successful period at any home.

[16] Despite the move to the more than adequate ground, the Druids fell on hard times, finishing second from bottom in 1965–66,[17] above Summerhill F.C., only to suffer relegation to the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Division Two in 1968–69.

Druids United gained promotion through election to the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Premier Division for the 1990–91,[21] yet despite this good fortune finished second from bottom and dead last during their final two seasons.

With the expansion of the fledgling Cymru Alliance the need for a stronger team from the area was realised, especially as local rivals Cefn Albion finished one place above rock bottom Druids United the previous season.
