Stonefield Football Club was a 19th-centuryfootball club based inGlasgow, Scotland.
The club claimed a foundation date of 1871.[1] However its first recorded match was in February 1876[2] and it did not join theScottish Football Association until the 1877–78 season.[3] As this is after the previous club playing at Barrowfield Park (Eastern) broke up, the club may have had an influx of members from that club, with others having joined the new (and larger)Clyde club, which also played at Barrowfield.[4]
Stonefield first entered theScottish Cup in1877–78. It beatRamblers in a "hard but pleasant game" thanks to a goal from William Reid.[5] After a bye in the second round, Stonefield went out in the third round, 5–2 atGovan. One of the players noted for his play (McIntyre) may have been James McIntyre of Eastern.[6]
In the1878–79 Scottish Cup the club walked overthe 4th R.R.V. in the first round but lost 4–0 against theJohn Elder works side atDalmarnock Park in the second.[7] It was the club's last competitive match, as it dissolved before playingHarmonic in the first round in the1879–80 Scottish Cup.[8]
There is one further match recorded for a club named Stonefield, in June 1880, played onGlasgow Green, but this appears to be a separate club lacking its own ground.[9]
The club played in blue jerseys, stockings, and cap with white knickerbockers.[10]
The club played at Barrowfield Park,[11] which was also known informally as Glengarry Park, after the open space next to the roped-off area.[12]
