THE HISTORY OF THE GREG CUP

THE PROBUILD CAPTAIN GIVES THE GREG CUP A KISS PRIOR TO LIFTING IT AFTER THEIR 2011 VICTORY AGAINST CITY HEARTS.

The idea of the Greg Cup was formed when members of the North Herts Football Association met in 1910 and agreed that a Challenge Cup for all member teams of the association be played for with the unique rule being that ‘one a football player had won this prestigious trophy, you could not compete for this cup again’ being agreed and approved. Mr TT Greg sponsored the competition hence the name.

In the mid 90s the unique ruling was removed and it was agreed that a player who had won the competition could play again after a period of three years. A few years later the ruling was completely removed.

In 2013 the merged North and Mid Herts Football Association became dormant due to lack of numbers but for the 2014/15 season the Herts Senior County League brought the competition back.

The former winners are below with thanks to Mark who commented with the missing winners from the 1970s.
