Vernon City FC

Vernon City Club is a professional association football club based in Vernon, British Columbia and presently playing in the BC Football League's Division Three.

They hold the dubious distinction of having the second-worst single-season record in League history, having finished the 1995 Division Three season with only two points.

Rivalries
Although Vernon has only one professional or semi-professional (association) football club, it does have several deep regional rivalries, most notably with Sicamous Town and Falkland AFC; this latter is due both to geographic proximity as well as spillover from the intense rivalry between the Vernon Shamrocks and Falkland RFC rugby clubs. Competition with clubs from Kelowna - the largest city of the Okanagan to the south of Vernon - is likewise fierce, especially with Chichester FC prior to their promotion into the Football League. With Vernon City's entrance into the league, this rivalry has resumed, and supporters of the Greens are looking hopefully forward to the first competitive meeting with Kelowna Central of Division One.

History
Vernon City FC was established in 1918, playing mostly in the lower levels of the Mainland Football League until 1929, when the BC Football League was created.

League competition
Vernon City did not qualify for the new League and were assigned to Regional Southwest Division Two for the 1929 season. They soon moved up to the Regional Championship Southwest, and in the latter half of the 1930s were a major power in that competition, qualifying for the Division Three Qualification Competition on three occasions.

They spent most of the first few post-war decades playing in the three tiers of the Regional Southwest, but on a few occasions they dropped down for brief forays in the Okanagan Football League.
