Milltown Football Club is a former Irish football club based in Belfast.
It was founded in 1886 [1] and was a founding member of the Irish Junior League in 1890, before it joined the Irish Football League for the 1891–92 season. [2] As a League member, it was exempted to the third round of the Irish Cup, but was hammered 16–0 by Ulster in its first tie. [3]
The club was excluded for the 1892–93 season as the League was reduced to six members. [4] It rejoined the Junior League, and enjoyed its greatest honour by beating the Glentoran second XI to win the Irish Intermediate Cup in 1895–96, despite the side being struck by a bout of influenza. [5] However, despite a support that was larger in number than that of some of the senior clubs, [6] the club folded during the 1896–97 season. [7]
The team originally wore green shirts, [8] which changed to green and white in 1892, [9] and green and red in 1896. [10]
The club originally played at Falls Park. [11]
