editIt was founded in 1881 and was a founding member of the Irish Junior League in 1890, before joining the Irish Football League for the 1891–92 season.[4] The club was excluded for the 1892–93 season as the League was reduced to six members,[5] but was admitted again for the 1893–94 season.
The club was excluded again in 1894 and rejoined the Junior League.[6] It remained a member of the Junior League until it folded in 1899, having lost its ground and been unable to procure a new one.[7]
