Comment: For context, it may be worth mentioning that this is not a competition in "junior sports" in the sense of age, but a competition between teams under the auspices of the
Scottish Junior Football Association. (Anyone expecting fresh-faced youngsters would be surprised by the greying and receding hair at a typical Junior match.) The Junior Cup Final has been broadcast live on BBC Scotland/Alba for many years, as presumably was the Kilwinning v Kelty final in the year in question.

It's the Scottish equivalent of the FA Trophy? FA Vase? A newspapers.com search brings up 12,000 results for "Scottish Junior Cup" but then stops at 1899, an internet search brings up coverage, especially of the final, but not of this particular season. I don't want to make a must be sources argument, but I think it's very likely salvageable if anyone has access to sources from that era.

Keep - a notable competition which attracts national press coverage (and there have been
books published on its history), I don't see an issue with having articles on individual seasons, although as noted above it does of course need finishing. Noting again that "junior" in the title does not indicate that this is a children's competition, it is a term specific to Scotland for adult men's football below the professional level --

Keep - as noted above this is a major, well-known competition in Scotland. As noted "junior" has nothing to do with age and these matches, particularly in the latter stages, attract significant press interest. My memory is that all the finals in the 1990s were televised across Scotland. The competition has a long history which has been covered in various books and I certainly would not be opposed to more coverage of its individual seasons.
