'Greenock High School F.P.s A.F.C. is an old boy association football club from Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
The club was formed in 1907 for former pupils of Greenock High School, and has long been a stalwart of the Scottish amateur game. Its first competitive football came in the former pupils' league in 1911âÂÂ12 and it was a member of the Scottish Amateur Football League from before the First World War until 2009âÂÂ10, when it moved to the Central Scottish Amateur Football League.
At amateur level, the club has had significant success, including winning the Scottish Amateur Cup in 1921âÂÂ22 and 1948âÂÂ49, and the Amateur League in 1926âÂÂ27, 1927âÂÂ28, 1936âÂÂ37, and 2006âÂÂ07.
In August 1930, the club joined the Scottish Football Association, and was therefore entitled to enter the Scottish Qualifying Cup in an attempt to play in the Scottish Cup proper. The club's first match in the competition was a win over Paisley Academical, and in the second round it only lost 1âÂÂ0 against Royal Albert, when a win would have qualified the club for the Cup itself.
It won twice more in the competition - 4âÂÂ3 against Vale Ocoba in 1931âÂÂ32 and against Moorpark in 1934âÂÂ35; in the latter year, after a second round bye, the club lost to Paisley Academical at the final qualifying stage. The club's scratching to Babcock & Wilcox in 1937âÂÂ38 was its last action in the competition.
The High also took part in the Renfrewshire Cup from 1929âÂÂ30 to 1933âÂÂ34, although by this time there were only two professional clubs taking part; the club gained its finest result by holding Morton to a draw in 1930âÂÂ31. Thanks to the paucity of competition, the High won the Renfrewshire Victoria Cup - a consolation cup - in 1930âÂÂ31 by beating the Paisley Grammar School Former Pupils F.C. in a match stopped at 80 minutes due to bad light.
The club's traditional outfit is all royal blue, although on occasions - for instance from 2014 to 2017 and in 2021âÂÂ22 - it has adopted Morton's blue and white hoops.
The club plays at Battery Park. As a senior club, it had to play home cup ties on a private ground, and used Garvel Park, the home of Port Glasgow Juniors, to do so.
