Skelmersdale United Football Club has a very rich pedigree with an extensive list of honours since they were founded in 1882. The most successful period included two Wembley appearances in the Amateur FA Cup in 1967 & 1971.
When United were founded in 1882, Skelmersdale was a small coal-mining town. In 1891 the club was a founder member of Lancashire Combination (the premier league for non-league football in the north-west of England until the creation of the Northern Premier League in 1968), although by 1893 the club had left. They rejoined in 1903 as founder members of new Division 2 although, again, they had left by 1907. For most of the next 50 years United competed in the Liverpool County Football Combination. The club had finally found their comfort zone. They were crowned champions on 10 occasions, Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup winners on 8 occasions and winners 5 times.
This cache is near to the clubs ground. It is a clip lid butty box that contains a few swaps. It is large enough for Geo-coins and trackables.
Please re-hide so it is not muggled. Take care on match days at it will be busy.
Congratulations to wigan-lad for the FTF!!
