In 1884, the Dundee Burns Club donated a trophy for
a charity competition between the leading Dundee clubs to be played at the end
of the season. It had an engraving of Robert Burns, this was a copy of the
statue in front of the Albert Institute in Dundee, and was surrounded by a
wreath of thistles with a football. The reverse showed a floral border
enclosing goal posts with the image of a goalkeeper and a ball. This side of
the trophy was entitled 'The Dundee Burns’ Club Charity Cup'. The trophy was
made by Messers Mappin
& Webb of London. The Forfarshire FA was given the responsibility of
running the competition by the Burns Club.
In 1892 the newly formed Dundee Charity FA took
over responsibility from the county FA with a new trophy in the shape of a
shield being awarded and a 'new' competition, the Dundee Charity Cup. The Burns Cup trophy was then mothballed before
being awarded to the Juniors for their charity
competition.

May Dundee Harp v Wanderers (Dundee) 2-2 The
teams refused to replay as the charity committee refused to give each team a
third of the gate. Later a meeting was held to say that this would be the
practice in future and also that players no longer needed to reside in county
for six weeks before being eligible to play Wanderers
subsequently beat Dundee Harp 3-0 in a match at East Dock Street on 18 May.
It appears both clubs listed this as the replay, however it wasn’t mentioned
in the official Burns Club accounts and is not regarded as official |
