Gresford Football Club Latest News

Gresford Athletic are coming to the end of the 2022/23 season. The First Team ended their JD Cymru North games with some good form, ensuring their survival, and finishing with three home games against Porthmadog, Chirk AAA and Penrhyncoch. The Reserves are into the business end of their 2022/23 FAW Reserve League North East season and have earned some great wins of late.

Move to The Rock

It was announced in March 2023 that the club’s First Team would be moving from Clappers Lane to The Rock for the end of the 2022/23 season and beyond, in a multi-year deal, groundsharing with Cefn Druids and Wrexham Women.

This is a big change, but a necessary one, with the increasing requirements for Tier 2 licensing not being possible to achieve at Clappers Lane.

The First Team’s new home ground will now be The Rock, Rock Road, Rhosymedre, Wrexham, LL14 3YF. However, the club’s Reserves will continue to play at Clappers Lane, keeping the club’s feet within the village.

Fundraising

Thank you to everyone who attended the incredible 2022/23 Gerry Evans Memorial Evening! It was a great success, raising money for both the club and also for Unbeatable Eva Foundation, in which a signed Pelé shirt was auctioned off for £5,000 and another £1,000 was raised in a ‘whipround’ in the room.

More information about the Foundation can be found on their website: www.unbeatableeva.co.uk
