Vale O' Nith F.C.
Vale o' Nith Football Club was an association football club from Dumfries, Scotland. History The club was founded in 1880 by "very young and enthusiastic" players. Although the club's name was sometimes given as Vale of Nith, it was officially registered as Vale o' Nith. It was a founder member of the Southern Counties Association in 1881; the association obtained a trophy from the Rev. W. H. Churchill of Moffat for a competition, and Vale o' Nith played in the Churchill Cup from its first edition in 1881–82 until 1888–89. The Vale won through to the second round in its first entry, losing 6–0 to the strongest side in the area in the second round, Queen of the South Wanderers. Churchill Cup success Although the club had some prominence as one of the few senior clubs in the southern counties, and proved more resilient than most, it was a frequent victim of "the drafting system" in losing players to the bigger sides. Between 1883 and 1885, its membership went down f ...

Association Football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel the ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45 minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes. With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries, it is considered the world's most popular sport. The game of association football is played in accordance with the Laws of the Game, a set of rules that has been in effect since 1863 with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) maintaining them since 1886. The game is played with a football that is in circumference. The two teams compete to get the ball into the other team's goal (between the posts and under t ...

Scottish Junior Football Association
The Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) is an affiliated national association of the Scottish Football Association and is the governing body for the junior grade of football (soccer), football in Scotland. The term "junior" refers to the level of football played, not the age of the players. The closest equivalent terminology would be non-League football in England, the difference being that junior football in Scotland was not similarly integrated into its Scottish football league system, football league system until 2021. Founded in 1886, the SJFA is responsible for disciplinary matters within the grade, certain player registration procedures and organising the annual Scottish Junior Cup. Other league and cup competitions are organised by regional committees. The association headquarters are at Hampden Park, Glasgow, which is Scotland's national football stadium. There was an earlier Scottish Junior FA, which was founded in Glasgow in October 1880. This body also ran a Sc ...

Nithsdale F
Nithsdale (''Srath Nid'' in Scottish Gaelic), also known as Strathnith, Stranith or Stranit, is the strath or dale of the River Nith in southern Scotland. Nithsdale was one of the medieval provinces of Scotland. The provinces gradually lost their administrative importance to the shires created from the twelfth century, with Nithsdale forming part of Dumfriesshire. A Nithsdale district covering a similar area to the medieval province was created in 1975, based in the area's main town of Dumfries. The district was abolished in 1996, since when the area has been directly administered by Dumfries and Galloway Council. History The name ''Strath Nid'' may represent the Cumbric ''Ystrad Nidd''; Cumbric (a variety of Common Brittonic) was the dominant language in this area from before Roman times until the 11th or 12th century, whereas Gaelic influence here was late and transient. The River Nith flows north to south through the Southern Uplands in south-west Scotland, separat ...
