Alexandria Cricket and Football Club was an association football club based in the town of Alexandria, in Dunbartonshire.
The club was founded in 1877, as a winter activity for members of the Alexandria Cricket Club, and was registered with the Scottish Football Association as the Alexandria Cricket club. [1]
The club entered the Scottish Cup for the first time in 1877–78, and lost at home to Milngavie, who scored twice in the second half after Alexandria dominated the first. [2]
Alexandria entered again the following year, and progressed through to the second round, after two draws with Renton Thistle, the first a 2–2 draw at home with goals from Abraham and Docherty either side of a brace for the Thistle, [3] the second 1–1 at Renton; [4] under the rules of the competition at the time, both clubs went through in those circumstances. In the second round, the club surrendered home advantage to Helensburgh, and lost 4–1. [5] There is no further record for the club.
The club's colours were blue and white "stripes" (in the context of the time, this refers to hoops) and white knickerbockers. [6]
The club played at the cricket ground on Balloch Road. [7] [8]
