Reviewed during NPP. No indication of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. Stats only article. The only sources are results/scores of games. The only text is just factoids that it existed. Tagged by others for notability since June 2023. North8000 (talk) 14:44, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There are hundreds of articles about the cup in the Australian newspapers (trove.nla.gov.au) going back to its establishment in 1923, but almost all are in The North Western Courier, the regional paper, and mostly these are only fixtures/match reports, from which it is difficult to determine the level of notability. The Courier probably never thought it necessary to publish an in-depth article on the history of this reserve/second-grade competition as the local people would be familiar with it, and other than brief mentions in The Sun and The SMH nobody else seemed interested.
