There was very little formal football in Ardrossan in 1894. Ardrossan Seafield played its first game since 1892 then closed.

The Montgomerie Swifts may have been an Ardrossan team
but there is no evidence.
ARDROSSAN SELECT TO PLAY SALTCOATS VICTORIA SECOND ELEVEN
On Monday evening (28 May 1894), I understand the Saltcoats Victoria's second
string will try conclusions with a select team from Ardrossan at Brewery Park,
Saltcoats.

There was no report on this game in the following week's
Herald.
PLAYING FOOTBALL ON THE STREETS OF ARDROSSAN
At Monday's (25 June 1894) Burgh Court, before Provost Young and Bailies Anderson
and McCarroll, four boys were charged with playing football on the streets.
They pleaded guilty. The parents were present. Provost Young severely admonished
both parents and boys and imposed a fine of two shillings and sixpence in each
case.

LARGS THISTLE 3 - ARDROSSAN SEAFIELD 3
The ground was in bad condition owing to the heavy rains. In the first half
of the game, which was one of two thirty-fives, Largs scored a point while,
in the second half, the Seafield lads settled down to their work in a
more determined fashion and registered three goals. The Thistle added another
two and the game ended in a draw, three goals each.
Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald, 16 November 1894
This was Ardrossan Seafield's first reported game for
nearly three years.
STEVENSTON THISTLE 5 - ARDROSSAN SEAFIELD 1
The second Steventon Thistle engaged the Ardrossan Seafield in a friendly
at Warner Park, Stevenston, on Saturday (1 December 1894). The Thistle retired
winners by five goals to one. We understand the Ardrossan lads are taking
steps to secure a field.
Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald, 7 December 1894
This was Ardrossan Seafield's last reported game.
