Magnificent
trophy has rich history
The
Cavendish Cup is a magnificent trophy with a rich history, dating back to 1905
when it was donated to the Matlock League by the Right Honourable Victory Cavendish
the 9th Duke of Devonshire (1868-1938).
Apart
from a 16 year gap, due to war and disabandonment of the league, the trophy has
always been vigorously fought for. There are three teams that hold the distinction
for having won it five times...Winster St Johns, Wirksworth Ivanhoe and Ashover.
Riddings
Rovers became our currrent champions after defeating Wirksworth Albion 3-1, with
two goals from man-of-the-match Dave Robinson, another from Andy Lowe and an own
goal for Albion.
