Glenconner Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Noticed a team called Townhead Juniors appearing in the Scottish Junior Cup a hundred years back. Does anybody know where the came from? Areas with a Townhead could be Glasgow or Coatbridge. Does Kirkintilloch have a Townhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenconner Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks LTL, take it was Glasgow club. Petershill history mentions a meeting in Castle St next to the Royal Infirmary. There's mention of a Junior club called St Mungo's going bust and the need for a new club. Even present day Petershill 1897 might a second time around creation since the name Petershill had already been used pre 1897. Seems to a bit of an overlap between early Junior and Juvenile and maybe even Amateur. Certainly never heard of a Townhead Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This report (from August 1926) of misbehaviour by Townhead supporters states they were "from Glasgow". https://www.dropbox.com/s/088izbbf81t5nxs/townhead.jpg?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 paulc thanks for that. Couldn't imagine where in Townhead they played. It was street after street of tenement housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
