Background


The number of teams entering this year’s competition remained the same, with Streatham & Mitcham (hardly a Lancashire club, but useful to make the numbers up) playing in their second (and what was to be their final) season. The total entrants remained at 14 and the same fixture format was retained.

There was no need for a bye in the first round, but there was still a "blank" or "dummy" fixture. The bye in the second round remained.

Notes and comments


1 * RUGBYLEAGUEproject[1] show that Broughton Rangers were at home and the match was played at Belle Vue Stadium, but Widnes[2] official archives show that Widnes were at home at Naughton Park


2 * The first (and only) Lancashire Cup match played at "home" and at this (Mitcham Stadium) by London club Streatham & Mitcham


3 * Wilderspool was the home ground of Warrington from 1883 to the end of the 2003 Summer season when they moved into the new purpose built Halliwell Jones Stadium. Wilderspool remained as a sports/Ruugby League ground and is/was used by Woolston Rovers/Warrington Wizards junior club.
The ground had a final capacity of 9,000 although the record attendance was set in a Challenge cup third round match on 13 March 1948 when 34,304 spectators saw Warrington lose to Wigan 10-13.
