The club went on to win the North Wales Junior Cup in its first season and the Flintshire Amateureague in its second.

Alexandra joined the West Cheshire Association Football League in 1937 before joining the Welsh National League Wrexham Area after the Second World War. The club remained in the division for more than 40 years.

Alexandra was one of the 20 founding members of the league and played its first match against Inter Cardiff, losing 1–0.
