## History[edit]

### Original club[edit]

The club was originally established in 1882 as St Aloysius Juniors, named after St Aloysius Church adjacent to their ground. The ground was located on Argyle Street, and the club was renamed shortly after its foundation.[2] In 1888 the club moved to a new ground. They joined the Northern Alliance in 1893, and were league champions in 1896–87.[3] The club moved to the Ellison Ground in 1899, with the opening match attracting 4,000 spectators.[2] They joined the North Eastern League as founding members in 1906,[3] but closed down during World War I.[2] The club had entered the FA Cup on several occasions, but never progressed beyond the qualifying rounds.[3]

### Youth club[edit]

The current youth football club was established by Trevor Wood in 2012 after a previous incarnation had disbanded in the 1990s.[4]
