Welcome to Grand Old Team BTW
Stick around.
Both teams had the roughly the same set of players as well.And the club was around before that as a cricket club.
Bet you wish you hadn't asked now!
AC milan, inter, Milan, genoa were all originally cricket and football teams.
Think there are one or two south America teams as well started off that way

Well, as far as I'm aware the club was an amalgamation of a number of church and chapel teams in Everton.
There's a school of thought that St Domingo played no greater part than any other orgainsation in Everton FC's formation.
I found this interesting. (doesn't answer the question though)
The Origins of St. Domingo
In 1878, Everton Football Club were formed, and they were known as “St. Domingo’s Football Club”. The club was called St. Domingo’s because they were named after the St Domi…

Everton were basically founded as an ale house club like many others, such as Spurs, and with players who'd played informally and locally in church teams.I found this interesting. (doesn't answer the question though)

Despite all the usual bunkum about religious origins, the club really emerges when they were founded at the Queens Head in Everton in 1879. There's no documentary evidence of any St Domingo FC morphing seamlessly into Everton FC. That spin was put on the club's history by opponents of Houlding in later years to distance themselves from his type: a brewer.

The building of St Domingo's Methodist Church was started on 12 September 1870 to replace three smaller chapels. The first services were held there on 20 July 1871.
Ben Swift Chambers became Minister in July 1877 and quickly began organising activities for youths to resist the temptations of alcohol - a major problem in late Victorian England.
By August 1877 he had formed a cricket club to play in nearby Stanley Park, which had opened in 1870.
In 1878 they founded a separate St Domingo Football Club to provide sporting activities for the youths outside the cricket summer season. I can’t find an exact date for this but there were other church clubs playing in Stanley Park in 1878/79 including St Benedict's, St Peters and United Church.
St Domingo's took on some of the other Church teams in challenge matches in the Park, and soon emerged as the best team.
The club wanted to recruit fresh players including those who were not members of St Domingo's Methodist Chapel.
In November 1879 a meeting was held in the Queen's Head Hotel in Village Street Everton and it was decided to change the name to the district where most of them lived - Everton. John Clark, landlord of the hotel was appointed the first Club Secretary.
In their first outing as Everton, on 23 December 1879, they hammered St Peter's 6-0. In the return match (both in Stanley Park), Everton won 4-0. So one might say we won 10-0 on aggregate!!!
