after a poor season. Their last match was on 16 May 1942, a 3–2 home defeat to East Fife. With no league to play in, it was decided to "mothball" the club until the war's close, as many other Scottish clubs had done at this time. Disaster however stuck when one of the directors — a coal merchant called Cooper — died later that year, and the Executors of his Will demanded the immediate repayment of a loan he'd given the club. With no means of income, the club was forced to sell the only asset it had — the Royal Gymnasium ground — leaving St Bernard's destitute. The club was entered for the Scottish Qualifying Cup in 1946 – a gambit Abercorn had adopted under similar circumstances in 1920 – but the game never took place. The club sold their 1,200 seater stand to Leith Athletic. St Bernard's hoped that they would be allowed to play at their ground until they could find themselves a new venue, but once the stand was acquired Leith Athletic promptly refused. The St Bernard's Supporters Club started a successful boys club in 1947, but all other attempts to resurrect the club failed, and in 1951 the St Bernard's Supporters Club voted to disband and its funds to be used to provide an annual competition — the St Bernard's Cup — for local primary schools in the Edinburgh area. Both the St Bernard's Cup and the St Bernard's Boys Club continue to this day, there has also been forays by St Bernard's into running sides in various local amateur leagues. In the 2017/18 season, the Saturday amateur team won the East of Scotland cup, one of the most prestigious trophies in the amateur game. Internationals Eight St Bernard's players were chosen to represent Scotland between 1887 and 1897. The club's international players were as follows: William Baird Bob Foyers James Hutton James Lowe Duncan McLean James McMillan Jimmy Oswald Daniel Paton Colours The team played in a number of kits, including all blue, white with blue shorts, the "Rosebery" colours (pink and gold hoops), and blue and white hoops. The current boys and amateur club use all four for each of their teams.
