Enfield Football Club was an association football club from Accrington, Lancashire. History The club was formed in 1877 out of the Enfield Cricket Club as a winter sporting activity, and was the first club in Accrington to play to association laws. It played in the first Lancashire Senior Cup in 1879–80, but was unlucky to be drawn against Blackburn Rovers, at the time one of the strongest sides in the country, but managed to hold Rovers to a draw, and a 5–1 replay defeat was no disgrace. The club made a small profit of £3 over the season, thanks to a boost in membership to 164. The 1880–81 season proved to be the club's best, as it reached the semi-finals of Senior Cup, culminating in a quarter-final win over Eagley, by now a regular FA Cup entrant. At the semi-final stage Enfield went down 3–0 to eventual winner (and town rival) Accrington, in front of over 2,000 at the Accrington Cricket Ground. This raised the club's status enough that it could open its 188 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
