In 1886-87,
the Sauchie Colliery Band organized a successful charity badge competition. Because of
their superiority over the other local clubs, Alloa
Athletic entered their 2nd XI.
Spurred by the competition's success, clubs in the
county formed the Clackmannanshire
Charity FA in 1887 which organised a county competition. Local clubs and
businesses plus JB Balfour, MP all contributed to the purchase of the trophy.
Fifteen clubs entered the first contest and twelve played in the second. Soon
though the numbers dropped, and by third tournament in 1890, only four teams
were entering. By 1896, there were only two senior clubs left. When Clackmannan
couldn't agree on a venue or date for the match, Alloa
Athletic were awarded the trophy. As there had never been a Clackmannanshire
FA, the charity cup could be seen as the county championship, similar to other
county cups such as the Ayrshire Cup or Renfrewshire Cup. The trophy was given
to the Clackmannanshire Junior FA in 1901 and was subsequently awarded to the
winners of the Clackmannanshire Junior Cup.
On 2 September 1922 a match billed as the Clackmannanshire Championship was
played between the two surviving Clackmannanshire clubs. This one-off match was
primarily to fill in a blank Saturday for First Division Alloa
who were without a League match due to Glasgow Cup games being played that day.
