The Calder Shield was the championship trophy of the Central League. After it disbanded in 1921 the trophy was put up for competition for the four senior Linlithgowshire clubs. In 1924 the Linlithgowshire FA had decided to play the competition as a charity tournament but that didn’t take place. The competition was resurrected in 1926 but was consequently abandoned.
