Vale Of Gala F.C.
Vale of Gala F.C. was an association football club from Galashiels, Selkirkshire. History The club is first recorded in November 1889, losing 2–1 at home to Selkirk. Its first competitive football came in the first Border Cup in 1890–91, losing 4–2 at Kelso Athletic in the first round, and rage-quitting the association after the rejection of a protest against Kelso's "mixed colours". Despite this, Vale of Gala stepped up to the Scottish Football Association in 1891, and entered the Scottish Cup, East of Scotland Shield, and King Cup as well as the Border in 1891–92. The Border counties were more partial to rugby football, so while the Vale was competitive against its local rivals, it was generally heavily beaten in other competitions. 1891–92 was its only entry in the King Cup (the club losing 10–5 at Hawick Rangers in the first round), 1892–93 its final entry in the Border, and 1893–94 its final entry in the Scottish Cup and East of Scotland Shield ...

Football Clubs In The Scottish Borders
Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word ''football'' normally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called ''football'' include association football (known as ''soccer'' in North America and Australia); gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football); Australian rules football; rugby union and rugby league; and Gaelic football. These various forms of football share to varying extent common origins and are known as "football codes". There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played in many different parts of the world.
