Mexborough and Swinton Times March 16, 1928

Then at three-thirty for the first time in the history of the ground an important County amateur championship match will be played.

Mr. Wright, the Mexboro’s Athletic Club Secretary, has done all possible, with the help of his committee, and the backing of the Sheffield and Hallamshire Football Association to make this initial venture of the kind a success, in the hope that further such honours may come to the Mexborough club and ground. The trophy he holds is on view today in Messrs Hadwen’s window. High Street, Mexborough and is the most novel—and ,probably the handsomest football trophy seen in this district.

The competitors tomorrow will be Sheffield and Manchester, two strong sides who drew at Manchester. Sheffield are the holders of the trophy. This is the third season of the competition. The first winner were Cheshire.
