1935 Yorkshire Cup

The Yorkshire Cup competition was a knock-out competition between (mainly professional) rugby league clubs from the county of Yorkshire. The actual area was at times increased to encompass other teams from outside the county such as Newcastle, Mansfield, Coventry, and (as applying for this season) even London (in the form of Acton & Willesden. The competition always took place early in the season, in the Autumn, with the final taking place in (or just before) December (The only exception to this was when disruption of the fixture list was caused during, and immediately after, the two World Wars)
1935 was the twenty-eighth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition had been held.

Leeds won the trophy by beating York by the score of 3-0
The match was played at Thrum Hall, Halifax, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 14,616 and receipts were £1,113
This was Leeds' fifth of six victories in a period of ten years, during which time they won every Yorkshire Cup final in which they appeared. Also the second of two consecutive victories which they would enjoy.

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no "leavers", but there was one new entants in the form of New London Club Acton & Willesden, thus increasing last year's total entrants to sixteen.
This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.

Notes and comments

1 * New London club Acton & Willesden's first (and last) match in Yorkshire Cup. The club folded at the end of the season
2 * Thrum Hall was the home ground of Halifax with a final capacity of 9,832 (The attendance record of 29,153 was set on 21 March 1959 for a third round Challenge Cup tie v Wigan). The club finally moved out in 1998 to take part ownership and ground-share with Halifax Town FC at The Shay Stadium.
