Derbyshire Senior Cup Founded 1980 Region Derbyshire Number of teams Varies Current champions Derby County Most successful club Gresley Rovers (8 victories) Website Derbyshire County Football Association The Derbyshire Senior Cup is a local county football cup for teams based in the county of Derbyshire. It's final is traditionally held at Derby County's Pride Park Stadium.
In the 2010/11 competition, Derbyshire's two professional club's, Derby County and Chesterfield returned to the competition after a 25 year absence, after declining to take part in their traditional Derbyshire FA Centenary Cup pre-season competition. Their return was greeted with disappointment by some fans, who saw it as reducing a competition enjoyed by non-league football followers to a "farce" as the far-superior league sides would breeze through their opponents. [1] The fear proved well-founded as Derby County scored 23 goals in their four games and conceded only 4 (3 of which came from fellow professional club Chesterfield in the Quarter Final) on their way to a first ever victory in the competition on April 20th, 2011.[2]
