1913-14 Wigtownshire League
1923-1925 |
Because of the
distances involved, Wigtownshire clubs were not popular additions to the
league competitions. Therefore. in 1913 six of the county’s seven senior
clubs decided to form their own league. Despite matches being fulfilled
during the first part of the season, none were played after the New Year, and
the league was eventually wound up unfinished. This Wigtownshire League was re-formed and played
during two seasons from 1923 to 1925. Because of the large number of cup
competitions being played at this time, it was impossible for the members
clubs to fulfill their fixtures, and the league was wound up after two
unfinished seasons. Despite this, Stranraer, St Cuthbert Wanderers and Newton
Stewart still managed to play some matches in the Southern Counties League
that was played during 1924-25. |
