The Season in Summary

 

Only five teams entered the Woodhouse Cup in 1893. Leeds Draughts & Chess Club (our poorer cousins) pulled out before the tournament got underway; and Bradford withdrew after we had beaten them. We comfortably dispatched Sheffield and Hull to take the laurels with three wins out of three.

​

The Captain's Trophy

​

The Silver Knight Trophy had yet to be minted and presented to the club by Mr James Rayner, so in those days it was the Silver King Trophy that went to the top individual scorer in the Woodhouse Cup team. Messrs Cohen and Stokoe tied for first place with 100% records.

Note for the 2020 AGM
