Rugby league - yorkshire cup
This is edited from the Wikipedia info on the Yorkshire Cup and British Rugby Leagues
British rugby league clubs competed for 2 different titles the Lancashire Cup and the Yorkshire Cup, known as the county cups. The top rugby clubs in Yorkshire had played in a cup competition ( t’owd tin pot) for several years prior to the schism of 1895. However the Lancashire authorities had refused to sanction a similar tournament, fearing it would lead to a pro league.
After the split the a replacement for the Yorkshire Cup was not immediately introduced, however new Yorkshire and Lancashire Cups were introduced in the 1905-06. This was the final set of trophies that went towards the concept of all four cups.
The ( t’owd tin pot) were played on the same basis as the Challenge Cup, with an open draw and straight knock-out matches leading to the final.
The ( t’owd tin pot) were abandoned in 1993.
The Lancashire cup was not played during World War 2 (1940-45). During this period the Yorkshire Cup final was played over two legs, with aggregate score being used.
