Low Moor F.C.
Low Moor F.C. was an English association football club, from Clitheroe, Lancashire. The club was sometimes called Clitheroe Low Moor or Low Moor (Clitheroe), but Low Moor was the club's self-reported name. History The club was founded in 1879 and had reported matches as early as September 1880. The same year the original Clitheroe F.C. (1879), Clitheroe was founded in the same town, which instantly made it difficult for either club to become competitive on the national, or even local, stage; the club's first appearance in the Lancashire Senior Cup in 1881–82 saw the club's biggest competitive defeat - in the first round it beat Abbey Village of Withnell 5–1, in the second round it lost 13–1 Bolton Wanderers. The club competed in the FA Cup three times during the 1880s. It first entered in 1883-84 FA Cup, 1883–84, but lost 6–0 in the first round to Blackburn Park Road F.C., Blackburn Park Road, all of the goals coming in the first half.

Association Football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel the ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45 minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes. With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries, it is considered the world's most popular sport. The game of association football is played in accordance with the Laws of the Game, a set of rules that has been in effect since 1863 with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) maintaining them since 1886. The game is played with a football that is in circumference. The two teams compete to get the ball into the other team's goal (between the posts and under t ...
