History The club was formed at a meeting at Given's Hall in Limavady on 13 October 1884, when the two senior clubs in the town, Alexander F.C. and Limavady Wanderers F.C., Limavady Wanderers, agreed to pool resources for the purposes of putting one club forward in competitions to represent the town. The club immediately asserted a prominence in the Irish game, even attracting Rock F.C. from Dumbarton over to play a friendly in January 1885.

Royal Irish Constabulary
The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC, ga, Constáblacht Ríoga na hÉireann; simply called the Irish Constabulary 1836–67) was the police force in Ireland from 1822 until 1922, when all of the country was part of the United Kingdom. A separate civic police force, the unarmed Dublin Metropolitan Police (DMP), patrolled the capital and parts of County Wicklow, while the cities of Derry and Belfast, originally with their own police forces, later had special divisions within the RIC. For most of its history, the ethnic and religious makeup of the RIC broadly matched that of the Irish population, although Anglo-Irish Protestants were over-represented among its senior officers. The RIC was under the authority of the British administration in Ireland. It was a quasi-military police force. Unlike police elsewhere in the United Kingdom, RIC constables were routinely armed (including with carbines) and billeted in barracks, and the force had a militaristic structure. It policed Irelan ...
