Between 1887 and 1913, the small county of
Clackmannanshire had sufficient clubs, both Senior and Junior, to enable it
to run county-wide tournaments. It was even able to run a junior league
competition between 1896 and 1909, before its member clubs looked for
stronger competition in Stirlingshire and Fife. The Clackmannashire Charity
FA was formed in 1887 and ran the Charity Cup for senior clubs until 1896
when it became apparent there wasn’t enough teams to warrant the tournament.
At the same time the CCFA also ran a Charity Cup for the county’s Junior
sides. On the demise of the CCFA in 1896, Alva Albion Rovers were
instrumental in the setting up of the Clackmannanshire Junior FA. This ran
until 1909, when its member clubs joined the Stirlingshire Junior FA. |
