HISTORY OF
CAITHNESS FOOTBALL 1886-1966
The Caithness Amateur Football Association was
founded in 1927 when six clubs from the Wick
and Thurso Leagues played for a
trophy donated by Captain AJ Mackay. The first season was played as a knockout
competition and was won by Thurso side Academical, or Acks as they are known
locally, by beating fellow Thurso side Pentland 2-1. The other teams taking
part were Swifts also from Thurso and the three Wick teams, Thistle, Academy
and Groats. Thereafter the competition has usually been played on a League
basis.
Competitive football has been played in Caithness
since December 1894 when the Thurso
League was started up and the teams taking part were Victoria, Thistle, St
Clair and Rovers. These were subsequently replaced by Swifts, founded in 1897,
Academical (1898) and Pentland (1918).
The Wick
& Pultneytown Senior and Junior Leagues were also set up in 1895 (the season before
consisted of a series of matches being played for the Leitch Cup which was
presented by a local watchmaker). It consisted of Pultney
Thistle who were formed in 1889 and now known as Wick Thistle, Academy (1893)
and John o' Groat (now Wick Groats) also 1893. A
fourth club Artillery were also members for a few seasons from 1903. Until
1902, Pultneytown was administered separately from
Wick. The McPherson Charity Cup, which was played on a league basis, was
presented for competition by Mr McPherson of Dundee in 1897 and wzas competed for until 1957 when it was replaced by a
trophy presented by the Wick Women's FA. The Sinclair Mackay
Memorial Cup was presented in memory of Sinclair Mackay of Wick Groats.
The village teams of the county were not invited
to join the Caithness County League
setup so formed their own competition in 1930 and this was called The Caithness North East Rural League. Players
could play for their home village or parish and also for the Wick and Thurso
clubs. On the other hand, Wick and Thurso players could only play in the Rural
League for the district of their birth. Matches were played in the summer
months and the teams taking part then were Mey,
Castletown, Halkirk, Watten,
Wick Boy Scouts and the first winners Keiss. By 1960
the Caithness League had switched
from winter to summer due to the cold harsh winters. This meant that Wick
Academy could no longer compete as they had to play a winter season to retain
their Scottish FA status. They were replaced by a new club, Wick Rovers. The
village teams of the Rural League eventually
joined the County Association in 1975 with first and second divisions. The Mr
& Mrs J Sutherland Cup, which had been awarded to the NE Rural League
champions since 1950, was awarded to the second divison
champions until 1999 when it was replaced by the Eddie Mackay Memorial Cup. Other
trophies presented to the league champions were the Clyne Bowl (1930), Keiss Castle Challenge Cup (1931-1936) and the Mackenzie
Cup (1936-1949).
The Caithness AFA also play representative games
against its neighbouring counties, Sutherland to the south have contested for
the magnificent Duke of Portland Bowl (presented by the Duke of Portland) since
1914, and Orkney from across the Pentland Firth have battled it out for the
prestigious Archer Shield annually since 1935. This was donated by Gilbert
Archer of Leith who was the chairman of Gardens Ltd of Kirkwall.
The Miller Cup was presented by John Miller of Srabster for competition between representative sides from
Wick and Thurso clubs. In 1920 the trophy was withdrawn and replaced in 1922 by
the Wilson Cup, after James Wilson of the Thuro
Station Hotel. Another trophy, the Harmsworth Bowl was also competed for Wick
and Thurso XIs.
Many teams have come and gone since football came
to the county but those that remain today are listed below and the year they
were formed. Castletown (1900) Francis St Club (1980) Halkirk

Senior League
The Academy and Groat
final fixture on 3 Dec ended in dispute regarding a goal scored by Groat, which Academy disputed had entered the net via a
hole in the side-netting. Academy disputed for over ten minutes at which
point the referee blew for time up with the score at Academy 0-1 Groats. The resulting protest concluded with the
championship not being decided or awarded as the John O' Groats FC resigned
from the League in protest. 1898-99 McPherson Charity Cup
