Burnley made their first appearance in the FA Cup in 1885–86; however, most professionals were prohibited entry due to FA rules that year, so they fielded their reserve side and lost 11–0 to Darwen Old Wanderers. In October 1886, Turf Moor became the first professional ground to be visited by a member of the Royal Family, when Prince Albert Victor attended a match between Burnley and Bolton Wanderers. The club was among the 12 founders of the Football League in 1888–89 and one of the six based in Lancashire. William Tait became the first player to score a league hat-trick in the second match, when his three goals gave Burnley their inaugural win in the competition. In 1889–90, they claimed their first Lancashire Cup, after beating local rivals Blackburn Rovers in the final. Nicknames at this point were "Turfites", "Moorites" or "Royalites", as a result of their ground's name and the royal connection.
