Despite winning the Northern Premier League First Division in 1992, the club soon faced problems as the Football Association of Wales decided to ban Wales-based teams from continuing in English non-league football in order to boost its new League of Wales competition.

2006/2007 season

A good run of 17 points from 7 games near the end of the season had given Colwyn Bay a good chance of making a play-off and going into the final weekend of the season, they needed to equal Stocksbridge's result at Rossendale. A 2-1 defeat to Eastwood looked to have cost the Bay, but a last minute goal conceded by Stocksbridge meant they too were defeated and Colwyn had qualified for the play-offs. They travelled to Cammell Laird on May 1st 2007. Cammell Laird twice took the lead but it looked like Colwyn Bay would force extra time in with a 90th minute equaliser. However, in the final minute of stoppage time Cammell Laird scored to send the Welsh side out 3-2.
