1. HISTORY 1
Over the years there has been a number of clubs in the village, notably Llay RBL and Llay United who were both very successful in their e# #...... 1.,\ Amateur League in the 1932 33 season, it is likely that they were the successors of the 'Llay Main' team. They soon established themselves and were runners up in the league in their second season 1933 34. The Welfare's greatest achievements were during the 1935 36 season. Although they lost to Newtown 2 1 in the final of the Montgomeryshire County Infirmary Cup, Welfare beat Treharris of South Wales 3 1 to win the Welsh Amateur Cup in a replay at Oswestry after the first game at Newtown was a 1 1 draw. Their next season was almost as
win we have had numerous promotions and relegations but the elusive goal of winning the top division has remained just that. We enjoyed some great times in the 70's when we won the NEWFA Cup for the only time and again with Swinny's Army in the 90's one particular coach trip to Morda in the Welsh Cup during Ken Swinnertons management reign has been firmly inscribed in Welfare history.

Following the Second World War the team joined the Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) and we won our only league title to date in season 1962/63, a superb achievement in an extremely strong league. During that championship triumph the welfare played 30, won 25, drew 3 and lost just twice, scoring 97 goals and conceding just 22. Saying that we still only won the league by just 3 points from

Established in 2009 by school friends looking to play competitive football together, Flint Mountain Football Club began in the now defunct Clwyd League, finishing bottom of the table in their first season with just one win and four points to their name. In 2011, the club joined the North East Wales League as founding members after the Clwyd League was disbanded. That season, despite finishing bottom of the table again, they defied the odds by clinching the end of season Auxiliary Cup, the club's first piece of silverware.
In 2022, the club finished runners up in the North East Wales Premier Division and were promoted to the Ardal North West League. At the end of the season, the club returned to their home town of Flint after a ten year absence after agreeing to groundshare at the Essity Stadium, home of Flint Town United. The club also returned to its roots by changing its name back to Flint Mountain Football Club.

Over the last few years the club took on a nomadic nature, as they moved between grounds in Flint, Connah’s Quay, Rhydymwyn, Sychdyn and Northop Hall. In 2019, Flint Mountain were crowned champions of the North East Wales League in an unbeaten league season, whilst also securing three cups in a quadruple winning season. That success, coupled with a move to Pant Newydd in Halkyn, saw the newly renamed Halkyn & Flint Mountain promoted to the Welsh National League Division One, where they finished sixth in a debut season blighted by poor weather and the early curtailment of the season due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
