Competitive football in Penrhyndeudraeth can, however, be traced back to the 1930s, with the team of the village's Cooke's Explosive Works team, Cooke's United FC, being involved in the Lleyn & District League during the 1937–38 and 1938–39 seasons, then in the Lleyn Peninsula League after the 2nd World War during the 1946–47 and 1947–48 seasons.

Promotion was gained to the Gwynedd League for the 1986–87 season, when the Club moved to its current Maes Y Parc ground.

The Club saw many managerial and squad changes, with little or no success, until the 2009–10 season, when the team were finalists in the League's Gwynedd Safeflue Cup and their League position led to promotion from Caernarfon & District Division 2 to Division 1.

During the next pre-season, Gareth Piercy resigned as manager, with Richard Davies taking over and added Bleddyn Williams as his assistant.

The 2013–14 season saw the Club being champions of the Welsh Alliance 2nd Division, finalists in the Take Stock Van Hire Cup and semi-finalists in the FAW Trophy, also winning the trophy for the best official programme in the League's 2nd Division, for the second season in succession.

2014–15 saw the team finish 5th in the Welsh Alliance 1st Division, as well as reaching the final of the FAW Trophy, which was the most prestigious day ever in the club's history.

In the 2015–16 season, the team finished 6th in the Welsh Alliance 1st Division and added a new trophy to the honours list by winning the Mawddach Challenge Cup, another memorable day in the club's relatively short history.
