Brymbo Institute Cricket and Football Club was a multi purpose sports club based in Brymbo, Wales.[2]
The club has its roots in the establishment of the Brymbo Institute and Reading Room, set up by non-conformist and Victorian industrialist William Darby. It was not as successful as he hoped, as few steelworkers were teetotalers, whilst the Darbys were great supporters of the temperance movement and so banned the sale of alcohol from their premises and land. The steelworkers later took over the Institute and managed it themselves. The institute supported cricket, rifle, tennis and bowls clubs, financed the silver band and supplied newspapers and magazines for the reading room.[3]
Brymbo Institute FC merged with local rivals Brymbo Green FC on 3 June 1921. The merger created a new club called Brymbo and Green United FC. The new club disbanded in 1926.
The club originally wore blue and white stripes.[4]
