The Core FC is a football club currently playing in the Lancaster University B-Active League.
The team is a breakaway group of friends from Lonsdale College, Lancaster University, who decided to branch off from the officially recognised college team to further its own destiny. Core FC also beat Lonsdale College 'C' 3-1 in the first official league game of the season.
Having begun the 2007-08 season positively with this 3-1 victory the Core's form dipped slightly and then recovered towards the end of the season.

Having picked up form towards the end of the season and having been undefeated since early March 2008 The Core hope to win their first silverware on Monday 9th June in the annual league cup competition. Winning the cup would see The Core parade their trophy through streets in the northern city of Lancaster on an open top bus, adoring fans in tow.
"NO ONE LIKES US..."
The Core have built a reputation for being somewhat 'robust' in the tackle, particularly in losing situations, a number of fiery characters ensure that no game is without its flashpoints. This has led to many people having a somewhat negative opinion of the club, they have been slated on various online forums before certain games. However, in an attempt to hit back and have a bit of a laugh at their own expense, The Core will lead a poster campaign before the League Cup to attempt to drum up support and cause a bit of a stir. After all, a bit of comedic PR never did anyone any harm; watch this space...
The club has a strong team spirit meaning that each player knows he has support in times of skirmish.
Despite their physical nature The Core enjoy healthy rivalries and banter with all their opponents.
