The club was unlucky to draw the dominant Queen's Park at that stage and lost 2–0; the club protested after the match about one of the Queen's Park goals.

One noteworthy factor was that the Dumbreck goalkeeper M'Geoch was a pioneer in drop-kicking the ball, rather than kicking it from dead, which was considered at the time to generate greater distance.

It withdrew from the Scottish Cup rather than face the new Shawfield club[11][12] having resolved not to play any more fixtures.
