Civil War Derby

The Civil War Derby is a rivalry between Toguth F.C. and Lacorcita Rovers. It stems from the Lacorian Civil War, where at Toguth, soldiers of King Harold II were decively defeated by the Republican Army in 1842. For awhile after, the rivalry was tense, even after the founding of the two football teams (Rovers as Lacorcita Royals A.F.C.). But during a match at Glory Park in 1972, the rivalry exploded when both sets of fans invaded the pitch and engaged in what one reporter called, "a very real civil reannactment." Over 300 people were arrested in the riot.

Sectarianism
Main Article: Sectarianism in Lacoria

Both side's hooligan groups have been linked to sectarianism to a certain extent. Lacoricita Rovers is supported by a large amount of Catholic supporters while Toguth is almost entirely Protestant. While religion had little to with the hatred in the beginning, it grew to become a huge factor in the mid-nineties. The Tolerance Act was signed in 1996 to deter sectarianism. It's the only rivalry in the country that has sectarianism involving religion (most sectarian problems deal with Westenthallers and Santhalleners).

Controversy

 * In 1984, in light of the Patterson Park riot, Lacorcita captain Jameth O'Binsley called the Toguth supporters "animals" and "the disgusting face of football." After receiving a barrage of abuse and deaththreats, he terminated his contract and went to Maalgaar.
 * After Lacorcita scored a late winner in injury-time of the L.F.A. Cup semi-finals in 1994, Toguth's hooligan firm, the Golden Lions, charged across the pitch and attacked Lacorcita's firm, the K.P.S., and when riot police came onto the pitch, the riot escalated onto the streets of Toguth.
