The original match (at Brockville) ended in a 2–2 draw,[5] and the Amateurs won the replay, at the same venue, 3–2, with two goals from Maitland in the first half, and Peter Ure scoring the winner a few minutes from time.

[6] In 1931, following a satisfactory inspection of the playing field and its enclosure,[7] the club joined the Scottish Football Association.

In 1936–37, the club lost in the first round 3–1 at home to Solway Star, the visitors scoring 2 late goals as the Amateurs tired.

[12] The Scottish FA refused permission to change the venue entirely, but allowed the match to be hosted at Falkirk Amateurs' Watling Park, with Larbert being responsible for all costs as the nominal home team.

[13] In the tie itself, the Amateurs, despite being only in the second division of the Amateur League, nearly pulled off a shock result, Wilson giving the side the lead after ten minutes, but the tie turning on the stroke of half-time, when Morton was given a penalty on the insistence of the linesman over Larbert claims for a free-kick (J. Reid being booked for his protesting); Morton ended up 3–2 winners thanks to a goal in the 74th minute.

[25] The Warriors' joining of the Scottish League in 1927 made such arrangements untenable, and the club sought a new ground.
