Ligoniel Football Club is a former Irish football club based in the then village of Ligoniel on the outskirts of Belfast. It was founded in 1881 and was a founding member of the Irish Junior League in 1890, before joining the Irish Football League for the 1891-92 season.[1] The club was excluded for the 1892-93 season as the League was reduced to six members,[2] but was admitted again for the 1893-94 season. The club was excluded again in 1894 and rejoined the Junior League. Their biggest rivals were Oldpark FC and Cliftonville FC and this was known as the bottom 3 derbies. A club still exists with the same name and play within the NIFL.[3]
