The Leinster Senior Cup is an association football cup competition organized by the Leinster Football Association. It contested by LFA affiliated League of Ireland sides, members of the Leinster Senior League and members of LFA affiliated junior leagues.
History
Early Years
The Leinster Football Association was founded on October 27, 1892 at a meeting in the Wicklow Hotel on Exchequer Street, Dublin. Representatives of five football clubs – Dublin University, Bohemians, Leinster Nomads, Montpelier and St. Helen's School – attended the meeting. The LFA soon began organizing their own cup competition. The Leinster Senior Cup was first played for in 1892–93. The inaugural final saw Leinster Nomads defeat Dublin University 2-1. [1]
Olympia's Leinster Double
In 1917–18, with team that included Jack McCarthy and Fran Watters, Olympia won both the Leinster Junior Cup and Leinster Senior Cup. In doing so they also caused one of the biggest upsets in the history of Leinster football. After winning the Leinster Junior Cup, they qualified for the Leinster Senior Cup. After receiving a bye in the first round, Olympia beat St James's Gate in the semi-final and in the final they faced Shelbourne. After Leinster Nomads, Bohemians and Shelbourne, Olympia became the fourth team to win the Leinster Senior Cup. After the inaugural win by Nomads, Bohemians and Shelbourne monopolised the cup for the next twenty-four years, so it was a surprise result when Olympia, with a goal scored by Fran Watters, defeated Shelbourne 1–0 in the final. According to Peter Byrne this also resulted in a popular giant killing chat – "Remember Olympia once beat Shels". [2][3]
The 2000–01 competition was riddled with fixture rows and was eventually abandoned after the quarter-final draw was made due to the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak.[4] The cup was not played again until the 2010. [5]
