# Wigtownshire Cup

The Wigtownshire Cup was an association football cup competition, originally for clubs in the historic county of Wigtownshire, Scotland, although from the 1900s clubs from Kirkcudbrightshire were allowed to enter. The competition ran intermittently from 1889 to 1968.

## Format

The competition was a knock-out tournament contested by senior clubs in Wigtownshire. The final in 1945–46 uniquely was held over two legs; Newton Stewart beat St Cuthbert's Wanderers 4–2 at home, but the Saints won 3–1 in the reverse fixture - a last-minute Drysdale goal for Newton Stewart forced the tie into a play-off. A hat-trick from Clark in the replay at Wigtown gave the Saints their last triumph in the trophy.
