History

The club, founded in 1965, hails from Belfast and plays its home matches at Tillysburn Park in the East of the city.[1] The club was formed by the welders of the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard.[2]

The club's colours are amber and black to display the link with Harland & Wolff shipyard and its iconic cranes. Harland & Wolff Welders share a long running rivalry with fellow East Belfast Championship 1 side Dundela. In April 2014 the H&W Welders formed a partnership with Harland Youth, a young club composed of six teams of all ages and they will now be called H&W Welders Youth.
