Plas Madoc Football Club was a Welsh football club based in Cefn Mawr,[1] Wrexham County Borough, Wales, and named after the nearby Plas Madoc estate. The club was founded in 2017 and played in the Welsh National League Premier Division. On 14 July 2020, an announcement via Twitter confirmed the club had folded.[2]

In 2023, a similar named team in the area, "FC Plas Madoc", was founded.[3]

History

A club by the name of Plasmadoc FC was formed in 1874,[4] and through a series of mergers between various local teams is claimed to be an ancestor of the modern Cefn Druids team who formed in 1992.[5]

The team began playing in the 2017–18 season in the North East Wales League, a competition which it won.

The following season, the team achieved second consecutive promotion when it won the Welsh National League Division One.
