and Limavady Wanderers, agreed to pool resources for the purposes of putting one club forward in competitions to represent the town.

Limavady repeated the feat the following season, but lost 1–0 to the same side in a match that was so ill-tempered that, after a Limavady protest about rough play,[6] the Cup and medals were withheld,[7] and both clubs were temporarily expelled from the Irish Football Association, with some thought was given to re-playing the final between the beaten semi-finalists.

[8] The club appealed the decision, setting up a rival County Londonderry Association as a back-up plan,[9] but legal action by Richard Baxter of Distillery ensured that the Irish FA awarded the medals, given that, as Judge Ross Q.C.

"[10] Ill-feelings between the two clubs evaporated surprisingly quickly - Crone of Distillery lent Limavady a hand in a four-a-side tournament three months after the final.

[19] The colours were arranged as tricoloured "striped" (in the context of the time, hooped) jerseys[20] and white pants.
