When ar wor a lad (here he goes)...all the local pro clubs entered the County Cup, and we were treated to some genuine competitive cup ties, with the added spice that they were always local derbies.

I think we used to play in the old West Riding cup as Barnsley qualified at the time

Never knew that mate. But found this to my surprise.
Final
1913-14 F: 1-0 Barnsley v. Bradford City
------------5th November 1913
Although most of south Yorkshire (if not all) was located in the west riding. So I'm guessing all our south Yorkshire clubs qualified. But most if not all joined the Sheffield and Hallamshire version in the 1920s. I don't think they would have played in both from then on. ?

Isn't this like Premier League Clubs entering their U21 sides in the Football League Trophy?
It's exactly like that, the club's stated intention is to give the youngsters competitive football against senior players.
Which, according to this BBS, has completely devalued the competition.
