There was a healthy turn out and after a lengthy debate the following officials of Prestatyn United were appointed: chairman - the Reverend Meredith Hughes; vice-chairman - Mr C E H Poole; treasurer - Mr Hugh R Hughes of the North and South Wales Bank; secretary - Mr Hedley Benson. In addition a working committee was set up and the team's captain and vice-captain were picked by ballot.

Local businesses were approached for assistance with funding and all were in agreement that the main team should be a Saturday club and make application to join division two of the North Wales Coast League with a Thursday side playing friendlies on an ad-hoc basis.

For some reason their application to the NWCL was unsuccessful (or more likely too late) so the new club opted to play a season of Thursday and Saturday friendlies in the interim, their first-ever game being on Thursday October 20th (coincidentally the author's birthday!) 1910 when they travelled to Rhyl Amateurs and got off to a flying start, winning 3-2 thanks to goals by Gratton, Holbrook and Jones. A week later the reverse fixture was played and a 2-2 draw ensued, Bennett and Head scoring.

The neighbouring village of Mostyn had long boasted established football teams and when Prestatyn visited Mostyn Temperance FC on Saturday November 1st the newcomers shocked their more capable opponents by racing into a 3-1 half time lead but Temperance got their act together in the second period and pegged two goals back to share the spoils.

But still the apathy that had plagued earlier sides bubbled to the surface and for the next Thursday fixture at Rhyl Celts, Prestatyn could only muster eight players but only went down 2-1. In the return at Prestatyn on November 24th 1910 Celts cantered to a 6-1 win and it was agreed that after such a heavy defeat the next game would be a practice match aimed at recruiting more able players.

Rumours about the viability of the new club appeared in the press with one author stating "Speculation is rife that some of the team have been placed on the transfer list and the secretary has arranged a friendly fixture with a local school team."

That game was actually played and billed as Prestatyn v Prestatyn United and the pupils gave the town team a lesson, running out 3-2 winners. Such was the paucity of United's display that the Weekly was moved to report "members of the beaten team should take part in practice games as only by practising can they ever hope to play good football."

But the club was now going downhill rapidly and a further meeting was called to appoint officials in place of those who had resigned after just three months in office.

More chaos ensued as a hastily arranged game at Dyserth on December 17th saw United arrive with just seven players but they still won 3-1 thanks to goals from Llew Hughes, Gratton and Bennett and they rode their luck again a few days later at Penyffordd where they recruited a spectator to make up a starting 11 and strikes from John Jones (2) and Llew Hughes earned them a 3-0 success.

Another substandard team were defeated 6-2 shortly after Christmas and shortly after another letter appeared in the Weekly questioning the suitability of the club's management and the absence of a selection committee while also sticking the knife into "a certain member who thinks he IS the selection committee!"

But the dawning of 1911 was to herald a better year for the club and the portents were good when Gwespyr were hammered 6-1 followed by a 1-1 draw with the same opponents in a game where bizarrely spectators were encouraged to join in!

There were more shenanigans in the next game at home to Berthengam. The visitors were late arriving but in this pre-telephone era they had know way of letting Prestatyn know, so with the Seasiders ready and waiting but with no opponents to play they organised an impromptu friendly with 11 lads from the crowd.

An hour or so later Berthengam arrived at the ground and a shattered home side struggled to a 1-0 win.

An interesting series of letters appeared in the Weekly around this time from the churchgoing public of Prestatyn who were concerned that the playing of football was having a detrimental effect on the young men in the town. One writer was concerned that the lads' "morals were amiss" while another wrote "...our devotions were disturbed by the howls and groans of these maddened footballers."
