***NEW BOOK JUST PUBLISHED***

Running to nearly 400 A5-size pages, this is the most comprehensive record of Senior football in south-east Scotland going back to 1875.

 

Due to the pitfalls of issuing a printed work, an UPDATE PAGEis available for corrections, additional info etc.

FALKIRK DISTRICT CHARITY CUP

1893-94 Final replay 14 Jun Falkirk v Gairdoch 5-0

 

6 February John has added results for seasons 1973-1976 of the South of Scotland competitions

 

I've uncovered the missing Dunblane v Alloa Athletic match in the 1891-92 Midland League, it was played on 7 May 1892 and resulted in a 9-0 win for Dunblane. Dunblane also had a 2 point deduction due to registration irregularities. The Midland League were unique at the time as aside from the Scottish League, they were the only league that insisted on players being registered with them. 

 

3 February

Malcolm has completed the results for the 1927-28 South of Scotland competitions

 

1 February

Gordon Hunter has sent me a result for the 1972-73 Fife Cup which confirms an error in the competition's history. This season has been noted as being one of the seasons where the cup wasn't held, however it appears that the competition did actually begin in April 1973 but ran over until the final in May 1974. The 1973-74 edition did begin with a match between East Fife and Burntisland on 2 April 1973 but the competition petered out with no other matches being played probably due to the previous season's overrun. I've also added more results to some of the earlier seasons.
