Richardson Cup 1959-1960
Main Tournament
The tournament returns to normal after
the debacle of the previous season, and is won by Glasgow CC .
Bohemians, having gone out of existence, do not re-enter. Ayr also do not
re-enter. As a result, Griffin are promoted, and Dundee, relegated 2 years
previously, regain their place without playing in the Spens Cup.
In a
change effective this season there is only one relegation place and only one
team promoted from the Spens Cup.
In an arithmetical oddity, no matches
in the main tournament have a final result with a half !
Once again the
relegated team - Central - stay in the following year's tournament, this time
following the withdrawal of Shettleston.
