In 1896–97, Montrose Works won their division of the Hatchard Cup and reached the final played at Woodhouse, South Yorkshire where they lost 3–0 to Kimberworth.
In 1897–98, Montrose Works won the Hatchard Cup, beating Eastwood Mission 6–1 in the final at Carbrook.
In 1898, the club opened a new ground at Norton where there was a stand that could accommodate 300 people and there were dressing rooms for both the players and match officials.
