History

The club was a founder member of the first incarnation of the Yorkshire Football League in 1897, but finished third bottom and resigned from the competition after just one year.[1]

The team was a part of the bigger Halifax Cricket and Football Club, who were beset by financial problems for many years before finally being wound up in the 1900s.[2]
