FA Sunday Cup

FA Sunday Cup

The FA Sunday Cup is a knock-out competition for English Sunday league football teams.

Prior to 1960 The Football Association did not permit clubs or players under its jurisdiction to take part in competitive football played on Sunday. A change of policy by the governing body in 1960 allowed Sunday leagues to become affiliated to County Associations and, four years later, The FA started the Sunday Cup to allow Sunday players to compete in a national knock-out tournament.

In the Cup's first season (1964–65), teams representing Sunday players in various counties entered and London won the final.

Since then, the competition has been won by 31 different sides. [ [http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/TheFASundayCup/History/Postings/2002/07/15072.htm FA website] ]

Hetton Lyons CC were the 2008 winners, beating the previous year's winners Coundon Conservative 3–2 at Anfield. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/7360896.stm BBC] ]
