West Riding County Cup

[MDWat]

Anyone know where I can get a record of all games played in this?

Need some dates for Bradford Park Avenue since 1910/11

Cheers.

There is a similar thread someone about this competition, but information seems to be scarce on-line.

The Breedon history books have been mentioned and recommended previously. I will draw a quick list of PA games against Leeds that I am aware of.

You may know this already but the excellent book "The Avenue" has a complete list of all BPA games and results by season (no dates though) in the West Riding Senior/West Riding County Cup - see page 172.

There was no competition for professional clubs from 1937 - 1949.

You could also try the West Riding FA to see if you can delve into their archives.
