City of Leicester Medals

This competition started in the 1905/06 season as the number of teams in county junior leagues increased. The Borough of Leicester Medals was created to allow teams from Division 3 and below in the Leicester area to have their own cup competition.

There was no Borough of Leicester Medals competition between 1914/15 and 1918/19 seasons due to the First World War. When the competition resumed in 1919/20 it had changed it’s name due to Leicester being granted City status in 1919.
