Falkirk Amateurs F.C.
Falkirk Amateurs Football Club was a football club from Stirlingshire in Scotland that reached the first round of the Scottish Cup on a number of occasions in the 1930s. History The club was founded in 1897 and played its first game at the end of the 1896–97 season, losing against Camelon's second eleven 4–2. Eight of the starting Amateurs would play for Falkirk F.C. in the future. The club entered the Scottish Cup for the first time, in 1897, losing 7–0 at East Stirlingshire in the first qualifying round. The club continued to enter until World War 2. The club was also a regular entrant in the Stirlingshire Cup, but only ever won two ties in 32 years; it did however win the Consolation Cup (for clubs knocked out in the early rounds) in 1898–99, and retained the trophy the following year as none of the clubs entitled to enter the competition wanted to do so. The club also played in the Falkirk District League in the three years of its existence, finishing bottom every time. The club's greatest honour was winning the Scottish Amateur Cup in 1922–23, beating Moorpark F.C. in the final at Forthbank, the ground of King's
