Formed
in the summer of 1898 by ten clubs in the Coatbridge area, the latter part of
the season saw the league reported as being allowed to drift. With the clubs
being left to arrange their own matches, it was uncertain whether the fixture
list would be completed. After a
number of clubs were rejected at the Lanarkshire Junior League’s AGM, six
clubs attempted to carry on the league into a second season. To this end a
trophy was donated by a Mr Wotherspoon to be called
the ‘North Western and Wotherspoon Cup’. However
it’s uncertain whether the league entered a second season. The accompanying league table was
researched by the late Jackie Heaney and kindly supplied by Stewart Davidson.
