Nationally, Thornton flew the flag longest, reaching the fifth round before falling to Pumpherston after a replay.

The Fife-Stirlingshire tournament was not repeated.

The power in the county still lies in the west as Lochgelly, Crossgates and Blairhall sweep up the cup competitions.

Dundonald lifts the league championship for the second successive year. They need to wait another 25 years before winning it again.

Tragedy for Fife Junior football, as one of their older members, Rosslyn sits out, as does Rosyth Recreation.

Rosslyn is replaced, almost immediately on Station Park, by Frances Colliery, who later lose the ground, and move to the Coaltown of Wemyss.

Rosyth has to wait another thirty-odd years before Junior football returns. In the interim, Recreation Ground is built on.
