In 1906–07 (the club's first season in both competitions) it lost to Tulloch 2–0 in a replay,[10] after drawing the original final at Crieff – a plan to play extra-time was scuppered by the Allanvale side needing to catch trains back to Blackford.

[22] The club was further strengthened in 1899 by the collapse of Carlisle City AFC, and recruited Young, Burgess, Russell, and Graham from the defunct English side,[23] and caused something of a shock in the Qualifying Cup, beating Dumfries Hibernians 3–0 in the first round, contrary to all expectations;[24] the club lost at Dumfries in the second, putting up a strong fight before the home side's superior fitness told.

[59] The club duly joined the Scottish Football Association in August 1919,[60] and it warmed up for its first competitive tie (in the East of Scotland Shield qualifying cup) with a 3–0 win over the K.O.S.B.

[64] Coldstream gained a revenge in the first round of the King Cup with a 2–1 home win, United twice hitting the woodwork, and the key goal scored after goalkeeper Weatherburn dropped a shot at the feet of Melrose.

[88] The Bons had the chance of revenge in the final of the Aberdeenshire Cup, which it had entered for the first time, and beat Aberdeen University and Peterhead in its two preceding ties.

In the first round, goals from Boyle, Armit, and Byrne getting the team from 2–0 down in the first round against Selkirk to win 3–2,[103] and the club walked over Chirnside United which was unable to travel to a second replay at Selkirk;[104] St John's lost 3–0 at eventual winners Clerwood Amateurs in the last four, Clerwood winning the toss being crucial, as St John's had to play into a strong wind in the first half and tired out too much to fight back in the second.

[132] The club's promising start continued as it held neighbours Vale of Leven to a draw in the first round of the 1899–1900 Scottish Qualifying Cup, although it lost in the replay.

[133] It was also one of the four entrants to the Dumbartonshire Cup that season, played to a league format, and remarkably all four clubs finished with 6 points from 6 games, all from 2 wins, draws, and defeats each.

It lost the use of Hamilton Park to the Scottish Junior Football Association side Yoker Athletic at the end of the season,[135] and scratched to Linthouse (also moribund) in the 1900–01 Qualifying Cup, the withdrawal being evidence of its "retiral from warfare".

[155] Comrie only lasted one season as a senior club, scratching to Fair City Athletic in the first round of the Qualifying Cup,[156] and not renewing its Scottish FA subscription in 1896.

[159] The only success the club had was reaching the semi-final of the Perthshire Cup in 1912–13, and that was only after quarter-final opponent St Johnstone scratched, having been one goal up in the original tie when it was called off due to darkness.

[184] Another heavy defeat in the first round of the Lanarkshire – 9–1 at Carfin Emmett[185] – seems to have convinced the club committee that senior football in the village was not feasible, and it disbanded in August 1902.

[214] The club only ever seems to have played two matches in its existence, namely the Wigtownshire Cup final against Newton Stewart and an 8–2 defeat to Dalbeattie Star in August 1898,[215] and there is no record of it having a home ground.

[229] It recruited a number of veteran players, including Mills, M'Coll, Smith, Gillies, and Graham, and was fancied for its first competitive match, against Renton in the first round of the 1898–99 Scottish Qualifying Cup.

[270] The club finished the season as runner-up to Annan United in a local competition,[271] and in August 1900 took the hugely ambitious step of joining the Scottish Football Association.

[277] The club was founded for ex-pupils of Paisley Grammar School by William Walker in August 1906, with the aim of playing in the Glasgow & District Former Pupils' League.

Originally the club had some senior players, such as George Ross and Aiton Buchan (formerly of St Bernards) and Cadger (formerly of East Stirlingshire), and had a successful first season.

In the Qualifying Cup, the club walked over Tarff Rovers[314] and in the second round lost 11–1 to Newton Stewart to so little interest nobody informed the media in time for Monday's press.

Ironically outgunned at senior level, the club allowed its Scottish FA membership to lapse in August 1908,[323] and it returned to army football, playing until at least 1913.

[341] It was strongly suspected that it had long ceased to exist, and had been entered into cup competitions for 1898–99 in order to make a profit by scratching from its ties for a financial consideration; the media sceptically referred to the club as "Rummy Rovers" as a consequence.

The club managed to complete the 1906–07 season, finishing off with a 2–1 defeat by a side from the Scots Greys on 3 June,[363] but it did not renew its Perthshire FA membership and was "scored off the roll".

[381] It had a longer run in the Perthshire Cup, reaching the semi-final, where the club was drawn to face Dunblane at Duckburn Park; despite strengthening the side with players from the amateur ranks of Scottish football,[382] the Strath went down 3–1.

[399] Early recruits to the senior side included goalkeeper Ruxton from St Bernards[400] and the Hay brothers, both members of the Edinburgh Harriers athletics club.

The club notionally existed until the end of the season, despite not playing, as one player (forward C. Nicklin) was claiming membership of "Trinity FC" when competing in athletics.

[419] The club, from Maybole in Ayrshire, was founded in 1905, and admitted to the Scottish Football Association that August; the original name proposed was St Crispin but Vale of Carrick was chosen instead.

[428] It had become apparent that the experiment of transplanting Glaswegians to Maybole had failed, and the club scratched from the Ayrshire Cup first round tie against Annbank in March 1906,[429] not having played since losing 3–1 at home to Beith just before Christmas 1905.

[435] It applied to join the Scottish Football Association the next month, by which time it had "forty to fifty members" (considered cast-offs from the merged Johnstone Wanderers and Strathmore seeking re-instatement as amateurs),[436] but was having problems in securing a private ground due to local objections.

Indeed, it may not have seen out the year; the last recorded match for the club is a 4–2 loss to East Kilbride in the second round of the West of Scotland Amateur Cup in November.

[475] As with predecessor club Wick Rovers, its geographical isolation – and having to play football while the fishing season was still in full swing[476] – proved too much of a handicap to overcome.

[479] In the face of such financial disasters, the Wick association stopped entering the Qualifying Cup, although it still chose representative sides for occasional matches.
