season in the semi-professional ranks, they again finished second bottom, 30th out of 31 clubs. At the annual general meeting on 23 August 1906, the members decided to disband the club, the Midland Railway company having given the club notice to quit their Moss Lane ground. Centenary Match In 1904, Morecambe and Lancaster, very close neighbours, were drawn against each other in the first round of the Rugby League Challenge Cup. 100 years later the two clubs Morecambe (being represented by Heysham Atoms ARLFC) and Lancaster agreed to play a centenary commemorative match, the winner would be presented with the "Morecambe Bay State of Origin Trophy". And so on Tuesday 11 May 2004, at Lancaster City AFC's Giant Axe Stadium, Morecambe (playing in the traditional black and white hoops) beat Lancaster (in Red and white hoops) 24-15. Stadium Morecambe played at Moss Lane in North West Morecambe, quite near the seafront, and in the vicinity of the present Morrisons supermarket.
