Ayrshire Football Combination Explained

The Ayrshire Football Combination was formed in 1893 as a breakaway from the Ayrshire Football League.^[1] Its original membership was Annbank F.C., Ayr F.C., Ayr Parkhouse F.C., Hurlford F.C., Kilbirnie, Kilmarnock F.C. and Stevenston Thistle F.C.

In 1897 Ayr F.C. joined the Scottish Football League and this sounded the death knell of the Combination.
