The Dumbartonshire & District League was a short lived supplementary competition that operated in 1901-02 and 1902-03. The first meeting of the new league took place at the Religious Institute Rooms in Glasgow on 30 January 1902. The six clubs which composed the new league initially included Thornliebank, but as they subsequently dropped out, the first season therefore saw Vale of Leven, Camelon, Renton, Alloa, Bathgate and Renton compete. The league winners were awarded the Dumbartonshire Cup. The meeting saw the following elected as officials…

 

Honorary President - Col John M Denny, MP for Dumbarton

President – Peter Campbell, Renton FC

Vice-President – George Colquhoun Vale of Leven FC

Secretary and Treasurer – Allan McLean, 186 Middleton Street, Alexandria

Committee – DD Dalglish, Thornliebank FC and D Nicol, Camelon FC

 

Vale of Leven beat Camelon in the 1901-02 championship play-off after they tied on points.
