History

Formby Junior Sports Club was founded in January 1959 when Jim Rourke took his son Frank for a game of football at Duke Street Park.

A number of boys asked to join in, they enjoyed it so much that they told their friends about it, in no time there were enough boys for 4 football teams!

This was unique, all the teams belonged to Formby Junior Sports Club, it was the beginning of the famous “Inter-Club”

The idea of properly organised football matches with friends in their team, playing against friends in the opposing teams, appealed to the young enthusiasts.

It was “something different”, and what’s more “everybody got a game”!

It was also a very friendly atmosphere. It may not have been realised at that the time by those young players that membership of the “inter Club” football fostered their social growth. For quite a few it was the beginning of forming lifelong friendships.

The 22 “Inter- Club” teams continue to thrive alongside the 20 Representative Teams selected from inter-club players and who play mainly in the Craven Minor League, ranging from U7s - U16s.

All this from a game of “footy” on the park 51 years ago.
