Arthurlie versus Morton. Both clubs were founded in 1874. They met in the Scottish Cup twice in the 19th Century. In Round Two of the 1879-80 Cup Arthurlie won 8 - 3 in a game played in Barrhead. In Round Two of the 1896-97 Cup Morton prevailed 5 - 1 in a game also played in Barrhead.
Arthurlie entered the Scottish League in 1901 but never made it up to Division One. Meanwhile Morton were enjoying a run of success and did not drop down to Division Two until well into the Twenties, the result being that they only had two seasons against Arthurlie, 1927-28 and 1928-29. In their four games Morton won three and Arthurlie one, and the Greenockians outscored the Barrhead men 9 to 6.
It's in the Renfrewshire Cup that you get the largest body of results. The county cup began in 1878, and still goes on, more or less. Arthurlie won the cup in 1880-81 and 1881-82. Morton first won it in 1892-93, and have won it again over fifty times since.
