overview |
The
Kirkcudbrightshire based Stewartry League was formed in 1894-95 with the
winners being awarded the St Cuthbert's Cup. St Cuthbert Wanderers, Barholm
Rovers, 6th Galloway Rifle Volunteers, Vale of Fleet and Douglas Wanderers
all competed while although the Dumfries club Maxwelltown Thistle had
expressed an interest the costs incurred by the traveling they needed to do
was prohibitive. Due to a harsh winter the first competition was unfinished,
but the league ran for another two seasons albeit with only three clubs. After the
Stewartry League disbanded, the three members joined with the seven other top
sides in the Dumfries & Galloway region to form the Southern Counties
League. |
