Campsie Hibernians Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the village of Lennoxtown, Stirlingshire.
History
The club was founded in 1889, only managing a couple of practice games[1] before its first match proper, against Stenhousemuir in the Stirlingshire Cup in October that year; the club went down to double figures, losing a couple of players to injury.[2] At the end of the season, the club played in a four-team tournament for bades presented by one Peter Sloan, wanting to "revive the flagging interest in Campsie football";[3] in the first tie, the Hibs met Campsie for the first - and only - time in competitive football. Only 250 saw the match, which Campsie won 6–0.[4]
Undaunted, the club joined the Scottish Football Association the following August,[5] and entered the 1890–91 Scottish Cup.[6] However the club went down 6–3 at "home" (the tie being played at Alum Rock Park) to Clydebank Athletic.[7]
It had better fortune in the Stirlingshire. The club seemed to have beaten Dunipace by a healthy 4–0, but, as darkness had ended the tie with 15 minutes to go, the Stirlingshire FA ordered the tie to be replayed.[8] Dunipace made 8 changes, supposedly to make its side stronger, but the Hibs ran riot, scoring 18 goals, and another 5 being disputed.[9] The Hibs were given a bye into the quarter-final, but lost 6–1 against Laurieston, the match being plagued by "a gang of young ruffians who attend football matches for the purpose of causing disturbances".[10]
Even after the club's first match there was some doubt whether Lennoxtown could support two clubs,[11] and, with the Hibs - despite a promising season - eing behind the other Lennoxtown side, the club was dissolved in 1891, leaving the Scottish FA in August and the Stirlingshire in October.[12] The final match definitively played by the club was at the Smithstone Hibernians in April 1891, ending in a 1–0 defeat.[13] There is one record for a Campsie Hibs in October 1893 but, if this is not a misprint, it must refer to a different side.[14]
Colours
The club wore green jerseys with blue knickers.[15]
Ground
The club normally played home matches at Brechin's Farm.[16] For its home cup ties in 1890, the club was able to use Campsie's Alum Rock Park.[17][18]
