1935–36 Yorkshire Cup
1935–36 Yorkshire Cup
The Yorkshire Cup competition was a knock-out competition between 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 even London December
1935–36 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 entrant 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.
