There was a 1913 report in the Falkland Islands Magazine of a football league table that consisted of five teams names as Dazzlers, Sappers, Crusaders, Corinthians and Malvinians.

Green Jerseys: both will play in white shorts...." During the 1920s and 1930s, most competitive football matches on the Falkland Islands were of military stationed there over the age of 18.
Many of the players who were later to serve the Stanley side for many years earned their baptism against the soldiers who also had their own inter-service competitions.
One of the West Yorks who played regularly against the local lads was a young Warrant Officer named Don Clarke, who after the War returned to the Islands and in addition to becoming Chairman of the present Club, also captained the local side from his favoured inside left position.
