Dumfries and District Amateur Football League

Morton Thistle celebrated their 40th season in the DDAFL in 2007/08 and capped it off with a League Cup win. Over the years Morton have bounced between the first and second divisions winning the odd cup as they went along. The late 1970s were the high point when the club won their only league title. The club also added several cups during that golden spell notably the QOS cup on three occasions. The team were relegated in the mid-80s and remained in the bottom division until the mid-90s when they won the second division and the club were in the top flight again.

Over the past few years the club has focussed on bringing in young talented players and now that some of these are maturing the club should be able to move forward. Last season they had a creditable league position, hopefully they can build on that in the future.
