[2] The continuity between the CURCC's football section and club Peñarol generated a controversy that remains nowadays.

The sons of blonde Albion, who were part of the company, decided to found a sports centre that serve as recreation to people that lived around the workshops.

[4] According to the club's foundation charter, CURCC was established on 28 September 1891 by the workers and employees of the Central Uruguay Railway Company of Montevideo, with the purpose of stimulating the practice of cricket, football and "other male sports" (literal from the Spanish).

The first committee was formed by eight members: Mr. Hudson, Lucy, Moor, Davenport, Hopkins, Davies, and Penny.

The first football match played by CURCC was that same year versus a combined team of English High School.

When the CURCC executives told Bayne he was the new president of the institution, he did not accept the offer, alleging that the coaches damaged by the supporters led to significant costs.

[2] The club played in the recently created Primera División since its first edition in 1900, along with Nacional, other team from Montevideo with whom CURCC had a strong rivalry.

While CURCC represented the British immigrants to Uruguay and rail workers as well, the criollo people and university students felt empathy with Nacional.

Some articles published on local newspaper El País stated that Peñarol was established as an entity with no relation to CURCC.

[6] When Peñarol modified its statutes in 1957 and 1958, the Government of Uruguay gave its approval to the text but did not adopt a position on the origins and age of the club.

They were: Rocket, designed by George & Robert Stephenson, made in gold and black colors; Sans Pareil by Timothy Hackworth, Novelty built by Swedish John Ericsson, painted in blue and gold as the flag of Sweden; Perseverance, and Cycloped, built by Thomas Shaw Brandreth.

The Rocket had been painted in black (the color of coal that fueled the machine) and yellow (for King George IV).

The choice of its colors in 1912 was fortuitous, since there was no store in San Justo that had a complete set of shirts, the purchase was entrusted to one of its founding directors, Mr. Enrique Premoli, who worked In Buenos Aires city.

Despite having been recommended some designs, only one house had for sale a complete set of t-shirts, with seven wide yellow-orange and black stripes on their forehead from the Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club of Montevideo, the Argentine team adopting their tonalities.
