Twelve Sheffield clubs took part. The participants were:
The final was played at Bramall Lane , Sheffield on Mar 5th 1867 . The Sheffield scoring system at the time used the concept of 'rouges' (a rouge was scored when an attempt at goal, using a goal only 4 yards wide, missed, but would have gone into an 8 yard wide goal: rouges were only considered in the case of a drawn match), and Hallam beat Norfolk by two rouges to one after a goalless draw. The cup subsequently disappeared. It didn't resurface until 1997 when a Scottish antiques collector contacted Hallam F.C. to tell them that he was in possession of it. They then bought it from him for £2000. EXTERNAL LINKS |
