Background The Rugby Football League's 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 even London (in the form of Acton & Willesden. The Rugby League season always (until the onset of "Summer Rugby" in 1996) ran from around August-time through to around May-time and this 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. Competition and results This season there was only one junior/amateur club taking part, Castleford, at the time still a junior club, but which would be joining the league in the next closed season. This resulted in a reduction in entrants of just one, giving a total of fifteen entrants. This in turn resulted in one bye in the first round.Rugby League Project http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/competitions/yorkshire-cup/results.html Jack Winstanley & Malcolm Ryding John Player Yearbook 1975-76 1991 Queen Anne Press Round 1 Involved 7 matches (with one bye) and 15 clubs Game NoFixture dateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueRef1Sat 10 Oct 1925Batley4–6Wakefield TrinityMount Pleasant2Sat 10 Oct 1925Bradford Northern9–9CastlefordCastleford were at that time a junior club.
