Kinmel Bay First Team Reach Historic Third Consecutive Cookson Cup Final

Kinmel Bay Football Club’s First Team have once again etched their name into local football history, securing their place in a third consecutive Cookson Cup Final a remarkable achievement that highlights the consistency, resilience, and winning mentality built within the squad.

A Legacy in the Making

Over the past three seasons, Kinmel Bay have firmly established themselves as one of the most dominant forces in the competition:

* 2023/2024 – Winners

    A hard-fought 1-0 victory against Llandudno Junction saw the Bay lift the trophy and announce themselves on the big stage.

* 2024/2025 – Runners-Up

    In one of the most dramatic finals in recent memory, Kinmel Bay battled to a 4-4 draw, narrowly missing out after a penalty shootout.

* 2025/2026 – Finalists

The journey continues, with a highly anticipated clash against Mochdre Sports on May 16th, offering another shot at glory.

Consistency at the Highest Level

To reach three finals in as many years is no small feat. The Cookson Cup is one of the most prestigious competitions in North Wales football, with a rich history that has seen clubs such as Wrexham Football Club lift the trophy on multiple occasions.

For Kinmel Bay to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such pedigree is a testament to the standards set both on and off the pitch.

Leadership Driving Success

Much of this sustained success can be credited to the leadership of Andy, Alex, and Leon, whose dedication, organisation, and belief have driven the squad forward season after season. Their ability to maintain high standards, rebuild when needed, and keep the squad focused has been key to this incredible run.

One More Step

With the final now on the horizon, the entire club stands united behind the team. From players and staff to supporters and the wider community, there is a shared belief and hope that Kinmel Bay can once again bring the Cookson Cup back home where many feel it belongs.

Everyone at Kinmel Bay Football Club wishes the lads the very best of luck on May 16th. One more performance, one more push, and history awaits.
