For the first and only time, the Yorkshire Cup final required two replays to sort the teams and decide the winners, Leeds eventually winning the trophy by beating Wakefield Trinity by the score of 13–0 in a second replay. Competition and results This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at fifteen. 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 and 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 teamScore Away teamVenueRef1Thu 6 Sep 1934Hull11–7HunsletBoulevardHULL&PROUD - Stats - Fixtures & Results http://www.hullfc.com/first-team/matches/19342Sat 8 Sep 1934Castleford9–9Bradford NorthernWheldon Road 3Sat 8 Sep 1934Halifax16–5Featherstone RoversThrum Hall4Sat 8 Sep 1934Hull Kingston Rovers9–9KeighleyCraven Park (1)5Sat 8 Sep 1934Leeds35–8BramleyHeadingley6Sat 8 Sep 1934Wakefield Trinity9–7BatleyBelle Vue7Sat 8 Sep 1934York0–13HuddersfieldClarence Street8Dewsburybye Round 1 - replays Involved 1 match and 2 clubs Game NoFixture dateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueRefR1Wed 12 Sep 1934Bradford Northern13–16CastlefordOdsalThis was Bradford Northern's first Yorkshire Cup match at their new stadium, OdsalR2Fri 13 Sep 1934Keighley5–22Hull Kingston RoversLawkholme Lane Round 2 – quarterfinals Involved 4 matches and 8 clubs Game NoFixture dateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueRef1Wed 19 Sep 1934Huddersfield6–6CastlefordFartown2Wed 19 Sep 1934Wakefield Trinity10–0Hull Kingston RoversBelle Vue3Thu 20 Sep 1934Halifax2–0DewsburyThrum Hall4Mon 24 Sep 1934Leeds19–4HullHeadingley Round 2 - replays Involved 1 match and 2 clubs Game NoFixture dateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueRefRWed 26 Sep 1934Castleford3–2HuddersfieldWheldon Road Round 3 – semifinals Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs Game NoFixture dateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueRef1Mon 1 Oct 1934Leeds20–2HalifaxHeadingley2Wed 3 Oct 1934Castleford0–10Wakefield TrinityWheldon Road Final The final was played at Crown Flatt, Dewsbury, now in West Yorkshire, with an attendance of 22,598, receipts were £1,529 and a final score of 5–5.

The History of Wakefield Trinity 1873-1973"Crown Flatt was the home ground of Dewsbury from 1898 to 1991. The ground was becoming dilapidated, but a deliberately set fire which completely destroyed the recently renovated stand, together with all the clubs historical records, forced a move to a new ground. The final capacity is unknown but was much less than the record attendance of 26,584, set on 30 October 1920 for a second round Yorkshire Cup match to watch Dewsbury beat Halifax 3-2Raymond Fletcher and David Howes Rothmans Rugby League Yearbook 1991-100 1991 Queen Anne Press 0 35617852 8 Final - First Replay The first replay was at Fartown, with an attendance of 10,500, receipts of £745 and a final score of 2–2.

Fartown remained as a sports/Rugby League ground but is now rather dilapidated, and is only used for staging amateur rugby league games. Due to lack of maintenance, terrace closures and finally major storm damage closing one of the stands in 1986, the final ground capacity had been reduced to just a few thousands although the record attendance was set in a Challenge cup semi-final on 19 April 1947 when a crowd of 35,136 saw Leeds beat Wakefield Trinity 21-0 Final - Second Replay The second replay was played at Parkside, with an attendance of 19,304, receipts of £1,327 and a final score of 13–0. Altogether a total of around 52,500 people paid over £3,500 to watch the three matches. This was Leeds' fourth of six victories in a period of ten years, during which time they won every Yorkshire Cup final in which they appeared. Also the first of two consecutive victories which they would enjoy.
