The Buckingham Charity Senior Cup - 2010/2011

[Rhodes]

Is this a Berks & Bucks FA affiliated competition:

 

First Round (Saturday 30 October)

Daventry Town v Olney Town

Hook Norton v Buckingham Athletic

Winslow United v Aylesbury United

 

Second Round (Tuesday 21 December)

Daventry Town or Olney Town v Winslow United or Aylesbury United

Stony Stratford Town v Buckingham Town

Hook Norton or Buckingham Athletic v Mursle United

Banbury United v Cogenhoe

 

The Buckingham Charity Football Cup dates from 1927 and was originally known as the Buckingham Hospital Cup.

 

The firm of F.N. Hiller Provided a magnificent cup for the winners, the first of whom were Quainton.

 

In 1932 it was decided to run a Junior Cup Competition for the smaller villages in the area, the first winners being Steeple Claydon. Quainton also won this trophy, three times in-a-row, in 1935, 1936 and 1937, thus becoming one of only a handful of Clubs to win both Cups - the others being Hanslope, Steeple Claydon and Winslow United.

 

Before the Second World War, it became "The" cup to compete for locally, attracting growing support from local businesses. it was quite common in those days to find a celebrity taking the field to kick off the proceedings.

 

After a break due to the War, the Hospital Cup lost its original name with the advent of the National Heath Service and became the Buckingham Charity Cup. Funds were then raised for a variety of charities, not just the local cottage hospital.

 

Today, competing Clubs are drawn not only from Buckinghamshire but also from Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.

 

This (annual) football competition is run solely to raise funds for charitable and philanthropic organisations and currently generates over £3000 per season.

 

Each club is given the opportunity to nominate a charity, whether local or national, to benefit from the monies raised.

It doesn't. It says games must be played BEFORE Saturday 30th October.

Lord Brackley - Anyway does it really matter when the games are due to be played, Efc always seems to pick holes in everything I do for some reason

Rhodes why is it a Mickey Mouse competition? Why should club's from Beds Northants Oxfordshire not be invited then ?

Rhodes, it would only be a Mickey Mouse competition if you were involved somehow, but then you haven't got a club have you.

Never mind, I'm sure someone desperate will be along soon, bonjour

DJM61 - I didn't say that it was a Mickey Mouse competition, if you read my post properly I said that it seems like a bit of a Mickey Mouse competition. Inviting Club's to enter from Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire seems a bit ridiculous to me but if you say why not then who am I to argue

So it's not a fully fledged Mickey Mouse competition but only partially a Mickey Mouse competition.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, Cliff.

Well maybe Cliff has a point, with the likes of Aylesbury United and Leighton Town in the competition......think he's just won himself p***k of the year (again)
