Any “Under 14” boys team playing in its local league, and affiliated to its County FA, can represent its local Lions Club in this knock-out competition.
Initial games are drawn on a regional basis so as to reduce travelling time and costs, moving farther a field as the rounds progress.
By organising early rounds on a regional basis each District has its own District Cup with eventually the Multiple District semi-finals and Final being staged at prestigious professional stadiums.
In the past we have played at the City Ground, Nottingham Forest, Walsall, Ipswich Town, Port Vale, Telford United & Burton Albion.
In 2009 - 2010 both semi-finals were played on Sunday 9th May 2010, the Northern semi-final was at the Leeds United Training facilities at Thorp Arch. The Southern semi-final was played at Abingdon Town FC.
Previous semi-finals have been played at Telford in the north & Swindon Town in the south.
The final was played on Sunday 23rd May 2010 at Rushden & Diamonds FC,
The Competition is sanctioned each year by the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish Football Associations and by UEFA.
