However, soon slaves players for Royal Workers and part of Palace F.C. was excavated to Intervilla due to Xijing Civics War. Soon they merged with local team, Intervilla Sports and Athletics Union to form Royal Intervilla on 6 May1891. Since then, the rivalry between Palace and Royal Intervilla sparkled.
