Uphall Football Club was a football club from Uphall in West Lothian. History The club was the second senior football club to bear the name of the town; an earlier Uphall had played in the East of Scotland League in 1893–94. The second club was founded on 1 May 1907 by gentlemen wishing to see senior football return to Uphall, and office holders and a committee were immediately chosen. The club signed a number of players very quickly, including Peter Greig of Dunfermline Athletic, two junior internationals, and the former international goalkeeper M'Wattie, subject to clearance to play as an amateur. Uphall was admitted to the Scottish Football Association in time for the 1907–08 season and the club's first match was a 4–4 draw against the third incarnation of Broxburn Shamrock, Uphall throwing away a four-goal lead. The club's first competitive match was a 4–2 defeat to West Calder Swifts F.C. in the East of Scotland Cup's qualifying section in September. Having failed to qualify for the main section of a regional tournament, the club unexpectedly qualified for the main section of the national tournament. In the first round of the Scottish Qualifying Cup in 1907–08, the club beat Broxburn Shamrock in a replay, which, like the original tie, was held at Goschen Park, as Shamrock's new ground was not ready. In the second qualifying round, Uphall beat Clackmannan F.C. 2–1 in a replay, with a freak winner from Forbes as Clackmannan goalkeeper Paterson wrongly thought his weak shot was going wide. By beating Aberdeen University 3–0 in the third round, Uphall guaranteed entry into the Scottish Cup proper; despite the importance of the match there was only a "small attendance". The club's Qualifying Cup run ended at Dumfries F.C. in the next round, and in the first round proper the club was unlucky to be drawn at Galston F.C. rather than a Scottish League club. The club went down to a 6–0 defeat. The 1907–08 season had been a good one for the club in local competition. It had reached the semi-final of the King Cup, for members of the East of Scotland FA, and was runner-up in the Free Gardeners' Cup, an invitational charity competition, albeit not having to play a semi-final as Broxburn Shamrock's East of Scotland Cup tie took precedence; Uphall lost 2–0 to Bathgate F.C. in the final. The club did however win one trophy,
