Having beaten Grangemouth in the first round, the club drew 3–3 against King's Park in the second, surrendering a 3–1 lead in the last ten minutes of the game,[6] but lost 13–1 away in the replay, the club's kick and rush style not working on a better quality pitch.

[8] However Clydebank protested that the goals had been the wrong height at one end[9] and the Bankies won the re-played tie.

The first attempt at the tie saw the referee declare the pitch unplayable, and the clubs played out a 2–2 draw as a friendly instead.

[18] The club seems to have ceased operations that season, and was struck off the Scottish FA's register in April 1902.

[26] West Limerigg was described as "peculiar", being more of cinder than grass, its shape dictated by a right of way running through it, and difficult to reach, requiring a 9-mile wagon journey from Falkirk railway station.
