This was referred to the Special Committee who reported back in November of that year that a decision would be deferred until a full list of SAFA member clubs was submitted for approval.

Due to the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, the SFA declared all football in Scotland be suspended but minor associations could continue.

The 1945 AGM attracted only 14 Associations/Leagues and was not quorate though by July that year it was agreed to restart Scottish and District Cups together with the under-18 and under-16 national competitions.

Immediately after the war, most Leagues and Associations struggled to resurrect and made stuttering progress caused by loss of personnel, lack of equipment and kit, problems due to travel, effects of rationing.

The Scottish Cup entries had reached 802, with 650 for the Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky Amateur Football Trophy.

In November 1910, the SAFA asked the permission of the SFA to play an international match against England only to be told their request was premature.

The SFA tried to arrange a game against England for December 1913, but this date was changed several times and then abandoned due to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

In May 1919, the (English) Football Association (FA) asked the SFA to play the elusive first international amateur match in the following season, but they had to decline as Queen's Park refused to release their first team players.

In March 1922, the SFA turned down the offer of an amateur international fixture against France and a further approach from the FA was met with a similar response.

In April 1924, the SAFA again asked to play an international match against England, only to be told that a team without Queen's Park players was not in the national interest.

In 1949 the SAFA received an invitation to play their French counterparts in Paris the following year but had to decline the offer as they could not afford to finance the trip nor could the players take the necessary five days off work to participate.

Since 1999, the SAFA has provided a representative team to compete for Scotland in the biennial UEFA Regions' Cup for amateur footballers.

[2][3][4][5] Scotland do not have a strong record in the tournament, having never reached the Final tournament (last eight), although the quantity and quality of players available to the selectors is arguably lower than some other Regions' Cup entrants due to the unusual way non-professional football is organised in the country, whereby the many players involved in the game at Junior level are not considered for the amateur squads.

Three clubs were expelled from the SAFA, and on 30 March 1910, the SFA agreed to present a cup to the value of £20 and the secretary was asked to obtain quotations for the design and cost.

The competition got off to an inauspicious start when Kilmacolm protested about the ground conditions at their first round tie against Paisley Grammar School.

Presented by the SAFA to replace the Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky Amateur Football Trophy in 2005 at a cost of £1,675.
