Camelon Football Club was a football club from the town of Camelon, Stirlingshire, Scotland. The club twice won the Stirlingshire Cup in the late 19th century but was wound up in 1905. History Camelon was formed as a split from Tayavalla F.C. in 1884. The new club promptly entered the Stirlingshire Cup, which had taken place for the first time the previous season. Camelon's first match in the competition was not auspicious. The club lost 2–1 at Milngavie F.C., but was re-played on the basis that "the referee was in an intoxicated state". Camelon won the replay, at neutral ground in Stenhousemuir, 4–1, and went on to win the trophy. The final, against Campsie F.C., went to two replays and extra-time before Camelon won 2–1, and survived a protest relating to a disallowed goal after the Camelon team dragged their goalkeeper Nisbet - with the ball - to the side of the goal during a scrimmage. Camelon also reached the final of the Falkirk & District Charity Shield, but lost in a second replay to East Stirlingshire 2–1. During the season, Camelon played Tayavalla for the only time; that the split had been in Camelon's favour was shown by Camelon winning 6–1. Perhaps emboldened by this success, the club entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1885–86, but was unlucky to draw Falkirk F.C. - the first winners of the Stirlingshire Cup - in the first round and lost 3–1 in a "perfect gale". The club also lost to Campsie in the first round of the Stirlingshire Cup, and a protest about Campsie's rough play was dismissed. Scottish Cup runs Camelon twice reached the third round of the Scottish Cup. The first time, in 1887–88, was after a surprise first round win at King's Park F.C. by 5 goals to 1. Camelon had to field a reserve in goal, who adopted the tactic of wearing "very wide dark trousers", which stopped one goal; another was stopped by Reid punching the ball out, and King's Park could not force the ball over the line in the resulting free-kick scrimmage. In the second round, Camelon recorded its biggest competitive win, 17–0 over Redding Athletic. However, in the third, the club was drawn at home to eventual winners Renton and lost 8–0. The second time was in 1889–90. The club drew 3–3 at East Stirlingshire in the third round, three times
