The Aberdeenshire Cup is a football tournament for all senior clubs in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The Aberdeen Football Club itself holds the record on cups won, having won it 39 times. Aberdeen often don't take part in the competition, to avoid fixture congestion. The Aberdeenshire cup is currently sponsored by the Evening Express and Deveronvale are the current holders after beating Kieth 5-4 at Christie park, Huntly
[edit] Origin
The competition was first held in 1887 and was organised by the Aberdeenshire FA, which formed the same year. The first members were Aberdeen, Orion, Caledonian, Aberdeen Athletic, Aberdeen Rovers,Aberdeen Rangers, Bon Accord, Black Diamond, Turrif Our Boys, Albert, Rosebery, Britannia, Granite City, Aberdeen City Wanderers and Balmoral. Dr Maitland Moir, honorary president, presented the Aberdeenshire FA with a cup which ultimately became the property of Aberdeen FC after their third win in 1890. After this the AFA bought a new trophy.
