Parks Trophy
The Edinburgh Junior Cricket Association Trophy was orginated in 1891 and was played for annually until 1910. The Edinburgh Public Parks Association who were formed in 1921 started a knock-out tournament in 1922 for clubs who played their cricket in the Edinburgh Public Parks, and the Trophy from the earlier defunct association was re-instated. The Cup from then on was known
as the Public Parks Trophy.
The trophy was originally only competed for by clubs who played their matches on Public Parks in Edinburgh, but in recent years has been expanded and now includes clubs who have their own ground in the Edinburgh area.
Thanks to Alan Veitch, we have been able to get a list of the majority of winners since the competition’s inception (see below), however we would welcome any further items of note.
