In 1887, the Sauchie Colliery Band
organized a successful charity badge competition. Spurred by this, clubs in the county formed
the Clackmannanshire Charity FA to run a Charity Cup. Local clubs and
businesses plus JB Balfour, MP all contributed to the purchase of the trophy.
Fifteen clubs entered the first contest and twelve played in the second. Soon
though the numbers dropped, and by third tournament in 1890, only four teams
were entering. By 1896, their were only two senior clubs left. When
Clackmannan couldn’t agree on a venue or date for the ‘final’, Alloa Athletic
were awarded the trophy. In 1901, the trophy was given to the Clackmannanshire
Junior FA and was awarded to the winners of the Clackmannanshire Junior Cup. |
