Walsall Senior Cup
The Walsall and District Football Association Senior Cup is an English football competition for clubs in and around Walsall, with the final in modern times taking place at Walsall's Bescot Stadium. The Cup was founded in 1878 and was originally named the Licensed Victuallers Cup with nine sides competing. Walsall Swifts won the inaugural competition. The current holders are Rushall Olympic.
Early history
Walsall Swifts, who later amalgamated into the modern Walsall, won the first Cup in 1878, upon winning the trophy for the third time in the first four editions they were awarded the trophy outright and a new silver trophy was made in 1882. That trophy became known as the Walsall Senior Cup. Records from before 1946 are sparse, however wins by some notable sides are recorded. Aston Villa Reserves won the competition in 1899 and 1903. Birmingham City won the trophy in 1883, 1901, and 1904.
