The club then successfully applied to join the Irish Churches' League, affiliating itself to the local Presbyterian church and renaming the club as 1st Comber Presbyterian. It remained there for only a couple of seasons before joining the Northern Amateur Football League in the mid-1950s. At first, club facilities were fairly sparse. The club had to share the grounds at Parkway with Comber Young Men and the changing facilities had little lighting, no water and was heated by a coal-fired stove. The fortunes of the club were to quickly improve. The 1956/57 season saw them win their trophy when they won the Border Cup. The following season they retained the Border Cup and also won the Clarence Cup. The club has had other cup successes but their most important to date was their victory over Brantwood in the final of the Steel and Sons Cup in 1991-92. They almost claimed the title for a second time when they made it to the final in 1996 but lost to Chimney Corner. In November 2012 Comber Rec Ladies was formed by Heather McCracken & Winston Kerr. In their inaugural season in the NIWFA, Comber Rec Ladies finished 3rd in Division 4. 2014 saw Comber Rec Ladies compete in Division 3, with Comber Rec Ladies winning the league title on the last match of the season, with an emphatic 5-0 win over Fermanagh Mallards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comber Recreation F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
