Inter County Football League

The Inter County Football League was formed in 1905 in Scotland as one of several supplementary [football leagues] that were created in order to increase the number of fixtures for Scottish [Football League] clubs.
Member clubs of the original competition included Abercorn, Albion Rovers, Arthurlie, Ayr and Vale of [Leven F.C.|Vale of Leven]. In the two seasons it was played, not all of the fixtures were played and the championship was withheld.
The competition was played out in a knockout format in 1906–07 in [Scottish football|1906–07], known that season as the Inter County Shield, but, again, the competition was unfinished because the final was never played.
The competition was re-formed in 1916–17 with Albion Rovers, Dumbarton [Harp F.C.|Dumbarton Harp], Queen's [Park F.C.|Queen's Park] Strollers XI, Renton and Stevenston [United F.C.|Stevenston United]. Dykehead, Royal Albert and Wishaw Thistle all resigned.
