Clydebank Juniors F.C. was aJunior Football club based in the Scottish town ofClydebank. Formed in 1899 asDuntocher F.C., in the neighbouring village ofDuntocher, they played their home games atKilbowie Park in Clydebank.

History

[edit]

Clydebank Juniors were formed in the village ofDuntocher in 1899, under the name ofDuntocher F.C, as the result of a breakaway from another local junior club,Duntocher Hibernian.[1][2] They changed their name to Clydebank Juniors in 1900 on moving to the town itself. They were based at the originalKilbowie Park prior to the construction of an upgraded ground (often called "New Kilbowie") in 1939. Between 1930 and 1950 Clydebank Juniors won a number ofJunior Football prizes, including fiveCentral League titles, oneIntermediate League, twoWest Of Scotland Junior Cups and, most notably, the 1942Scottish Junior Cup. The club's ground was rebuilt on the same site in 1939, and whilst retaining its original name was often referred to as "New Kilbowie".

Merger

[edit]

In 1964 the Steedman brothers, Jack and Charlie, owners ofEast Stirlingshire F.C., controversially merged their club with Clydebank Juniors.[3][4] The new club, whose name was usually abbreviated to E.S. Clydebank, inherited East Stirlingshire's place inDivision Two, playing home matches at Kilbowie. After a year, a legal challenge by East Stirlingshire supporters led to them resuming their former identity back inFalkirk. E.S. Clydebank's single season is generally considered by historians and statisticians as a contiguous part of East Stirlingshire's record, as the merged club was never elected to theSFA or League in its own right.

Aftermath

[edit]

The Steedmans elected to remain at Clydebank, establishing a new club at senior level, namedClydebank F.C.
