History of the Cestria Cup (Formerly The Joseph Shield)

There had been discussion at the annual meeting regarding the formation of a competition for smaller schools only. Although a proposal had been turned down, it was suggested that further discussion could take place at a future meeting

4th November 1954 - the secretary informed the meeting that he had contacted Mr Errington who had spoken to Mr Josephs of 'Joseph's Sports, Sunderland' regarding the sponsoring of a small schools' trophy. Mr Josephs was quite prepared to supply a trophy but further discussion was required to clarify what the rules of the competition would be.

10th February 1955 - the Joseph Shield was on view at the meeting and was 'much admired'. The secretary was instructed to write to Mr Josephs and thank him on behalf of the association. After discussion, it was agreed that the competition should be open only to schools with 100 boys or less on the role and that for all other purposes, the rules of the C B Watson Cup would apply. This was put as a proposal by Mr Elliott and seconded by Mr Scorer and carried unanimously.
