They finished fifth in the league as well as reaching the final of the inaugural Eryri Shield cup competition. The club decided to return to the Anglesey League and re-named to CPD Bro Goronwy FC but had to enter the second division of the Anglesey League. Keeping most of their Gwynedd League side they won the Division Two title. They also reached the finals in the Dargie and Megan cups, losing on both occasions.

The club were promoted to the Gwynedd League for the 1987–88 season and finished 5th. The team folded at the end of this season.

Ahead of the 2013–14 season the club resigned from the league, citing inability to attract players. The team re-joined the Anglesey League and saw further league success being crowned as league champions again at the end of the 2015–16 season.
