Four Crosses F.C.
association football club in Wales
Four Crosses Football Club is a Welsh football team based in the village of Four Crosses, Montgomeryshire, in northern Powys, Wales. They play in the Montgomeryshire League.
History
Four Crosses FC came into existence ahead of the 1975–76 Montgomeryshire League season and were Division Two champions in 1979–80 and Division One runners-up in 1984–85. The club changed their identity to Llanymynech Rovers for the 1989–90 campaign.
From 2010 to 2017 and 2018 to 2020 they played in the Mid Wales League. In the 2021–22 season they played in the Ardal North East as founder members. Their only season there saw them fail to win a match, and a 9 point deduction meant they finished on -5 points. They were relegated and then spent four seasons in the Central Wales League Northern Division. Ahead of the 2026–27 season the club voluntarily relegated themselves to the Tier 5 Montgomeryshire Football League.

Why this record matters
The phrase “association football club in Wales” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97353677. Authority coordinates are 52.759, -3.073. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1979, 1984 and 1989.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
