A FORGOTTEN football cup which was uncovered after spending more than a decade gathering dust will now take pride of place in Barnsley Town Hall on what is its 100th anniversary.
Known as the Royston Challenge Cup, it was last competed for in 1985 and belonged to the Barnsley Football Association.
Local man Mick Birkinshaw, whose possession it was last in, said: “Royston Social won it last and I traced it back to the FA before taking it on, but it’s been in the wardrobe for years.
“It’s nice to get it back out on its 100th anniversary - it’s a really ornate cup and looks fantastic in the Mayor’s Parlour, where it’ll stay.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
