The new club were challenged by the lads from up the hill from the village of Halfway to play for the right to call themselves Cambuslang so the Excelsior team went to Halfway and in their first match hammered the lads from Halfway at Clyde Street Park by the scoreline of 6-0 and from then on the Excelsior named were scratched and Cambuslang and Athletic Football Club were formed.
