A man in Sussex has contacted us with a medal presented to "G B Young Carlisle City AFC 1896/7 cup runners-up".

I realise some of our existing members would only be young boys at that time, but it would be good if we discover a bit more about this. I started some research myself. Carlisle United were formed in 1904 when they changed their name from Shaddongate, and they were playing in a Cumberland Senior league then. The Cumberland FA was formed in 1884 and I wonder what records they have kept. 

Anyone any good at history?

Carlisle Rugby started in 1873 as Carlisle Football Club and starting playing from WarwicK Road in 1895 so maybe a link somewhere.

We have lots of Young players currently however.

Is it possible that Carlisle Rugby would be known as "Carlisle City AFC" ??

Bringing this old thread back to the top.

Jack Williamson had a story in the Cumberland News on Friday re: a medal dated in 1894 showing City as Cumberland Cup winners, beating Moss Bay.

Is there anyone out there who could look into this further- when was the original club formed? when did it cease? what did it win?  where did it play?  did the sheepmount still get cancelled on a saturday morning??

There is no truth in the rumour that Jack Ewbank was the original chairman. biggrin
