Shawfield Amateurs F.C.

Not to be confused with Shawfield F.C..

Shawfield Amateurs Football Club were a Scottish football team that competed in the Scottish Amateur Football League, and also the Scottish Cup in the 1940s and 1950s.

They came to prominence in the 1930s and won the Third Division of the Scottish Amateur Football League in 1935–36, followed by the Second Division in 1936–37.[1]

They participated in the 1st round proper of the Scottish Cup on four occasions, most notably in 1947–48, as their 1950s appearances were at a time when the Scottish Qualifying Cup was temporarily not held thus making it easier to appear in the main cup.[2]

They appear to have disbanded in 1964.[2]
