History
It was founded in 1886[1] and was a founding member of the Irish Junior League in 1890, before it joined the Irish Football League for the 1891–92 season.[2] As a League member, it was exempted to the third round of the Irish Cup, but was hammered 16–0 by Ulster in its first tie.[3]
The club was excluded for the 1892–93 season as the League was reduced to six members.[4] It rejoined the Junior League, and enjoyed its greatest honour by beating the Glentoran second XI to win the Irish Intermediate Cup in 1895–96, despite the side being struck by a bout of influenza.[5] However, despite a support that was larger in number than that of some of the senior clubs,[6] the club folded during the 1896–97 season.[7]
