CUP
1877-1998

The results of the
competition from 1877-78 to 1914-15 were researched and compiled by Stuart
Robertson ©. There are a number of missing results and dates, so if you can
help with these, please contact me. The first proposers of the Ayrshire Cup were two medical
students, a John Smith of Mauchline and a Mr Wilson of Ayr. After failing to
persuade Ayr Thistle to take up the task, John Wallace of Kilmarnock took up
the baton. Voluntary contributions, almost exclusively in Kilmarnock, helped
finance the competition and was instrumental in the town having an almost
exclusive hold on the choice of final venues. Indeed it wasni’t until 1897
when the final tie was played outside the town with Ayr being the choice. The following notes
regarding the competition in the 20th Century have been supplied
thanks to David Ross. There were a couple of occasions when
the winners didn't actually 'win' the Final. In 1921 Ayr United refused to
replay at Rugby Park on the date set by the Ayrshire FA so Kilmarnock were
awarded the trophy. In 1959 the scores were level after two legs so in the
days before penalty shoot-outs or away goals counting double the rule was
that in the event of a tie the holders kept the trophy so it stayed in Ayr. Penalty shoot-outs were introduced in
1970-71. Between 1946-1978 Kilmarnock and Ayr
United were the only entrants. Prior to WW2 the number of entrants fluctuated
- from a peak of over forty to just four in the 1930s (Kilmarnock, Ayr
United, Beith and Galston). In 1978-79 Girvan joined the competition. The last winners outside the 'big
two' were Beith in 1926-27. Although the competition was
suspended during WW2 the second leg of the 1938-39 final was played on
September 30th 1939, after the outbreak of war but eight days after the SFA
lifted their ban on competitive football. The latest date for a final is for
the 1932-33 competition which was actually played in February 1934. However
the 1934-35 competition took longer to conclude. The final was held at Rugby
Park in October 1935 but was drawn 3-3. The replay at Somerset wasn't played
until 22 April 22 1936 when Kilmarnock won 8-0 (a record score for a
Kilmarnock-Ayr United game) with six different players scoring. Most successive wins is seven -
Kilmarnock from 1950-51 to 1956-57 inclusive. Kilmarnock have also won five
times in a row 1980-81 to 1984-85 inclusive. They were the first club to win
three in succession (1884, 1885, 1886), a feat they achieved on several more
occasions. Ayr United's best run was four in a
row from 1974-75 - 77-78. They also won three in succession - 1968-69,
1969-70, 1970-71. No other club has won more than twice in succession though
Stevenston United - winners in 1914-15 and again in 1919-20 held the trophy
for six seasons as it wasn't contested between those dates. Some snippets on managers. Most
successful was Kilmarnock's Malky MacDonald with eight victories. Best for
Ayr was Ally McLeod with seven, the same tally as Kilmarnock's Hugh Spence. MacDonald & McLeod were also both
in charge of Scotland of course. The only ACF in which they were opposite
each other was 1966. Other Scotland managers to have won the Ayrshire Cup are
Tommy Burns and George Burley. They faced each other in the ACF in 1992 &
1993. Ayr manager Gerry Mays (1962) was a
former Kilmarnock player. And Alex Gibson who managed Ayr in the 1932-33
competition (completed in 1934) was a former Kilmarnock Chairman! James
MacDonald, Ayr secretary/manager in the early 1920s held the same position at
Rugby Park before WWI and Ayr boss from 1979-1983, Willie McLean, was the
brother of Kilmarnock players Tommy & Jim. Winners

(Annbank and
Kilmarnock refused to replay the final at Stevenston, which had been stipulated
as
the venue by the Association. The second game
was regarded as the unofficial final. The cup and
badges were
withheld but the teams played a game for the Championship. The first game ended
in a draw.)
(Some sources have
Warner Park, Stevenston as the initial venue for the final and both the first
match and replay as
unofficial. It became known locally as the 'Cupless Final.'.
This interpretation
is also given in 'Fifty Years of the Kilmarnock Football Club 1869-1919.')

Lugar Boswell Irvine
The Lugar Boswell v
Irvine 2nd leg match was never played. Irvine FC had gone defunct by October
1899. Continuing financial problems were the main reasons for the club closing
down. However, the emergent and very successful junior side, Irvine Meadow XI,
saw the senior club as a direct rival for the town’s support and resources. A
comment in the Irvine Herald summed this up, “Rather curious, isn’t it that at
the Irvine FC meeting, a Meadow XI committee-man was the mover that the senior
club be wound up!”
