[5] Camelon also reached the final of the Falkirk & District Charity Shield, but lost in a second replay to East Stirlingshire 2–1.

Camelon had to field a reserve in goal, who adopted the tactic of wearing "very wide dark trousers", which stopped one goal; another was stopped by defender Reid punching the ball out, and, in the days before penalty kicks, King's Park could not force the ball over the line in the resulting free-kick scrimmage.

The club drew 3–3 at East Stirlingshire in the third round, three times taking the lead,[13] but in a remarkable replay at Victoria Park, witnessed by 1,500 spectators, with neither side making any changes, the Shire went through in a sixteen-goal thriller; the half-time score being 4–1 in favour of the visitors, who increased their lead to 6–1 early in the second, before the score went 6–2, 6–3, 7–3, 8–3, 8–4, 8–5, 9–5, 9–6, and finished at 10–6.

Camelon was one of the ten sides which formed the Midland League in 1891, with secretary Murphy appointed secretary of the league at the inaugural meeting in Alloa,[15] and the club remained a member until 1897, when it left with most of the surviving clubs to form the Central Football Combination.

[16] The final was held at East Stirlingshire's ground, and Camelon won a thrilling game with a last-minute winner.

Camelon reached the final for the next four seasons, but lost every time; twice to Stenhousemuir, once to King's Park, and once to East Stirlingshire.

[19] A new Junior club was founded in the aftermath, playing at the Camelon Public Park,[20] but this side petered out in 1910.

The club originally played in black and white "quarters" - in the context of the time, this refers to halves, with the sleeves counterchanged - and navy shorts.

[23] The club originally played home matches at Camelon House,[24] but moved to the Victoria Park from 1885.
