1900-01 : Tonge
• Things were a bit quieter this season, with the total entrants now reduced to 32 clubs. With 19 clubs leaving (or could be 20, as we had one mystery club last season), and one name change (Hooley Bridge became Heywood Central), that meant 8 new clubs and 4 returning after a gap
• The four returning clubs were Middleton, who had left in 1895 when the higher ranked clubs left to join the Manchester Senior League, Hyde and Lymm who had both missed just last season, and Levenshulme who return after a two season gap
• The format of the competition remained the same as last season, except due to the reduced number of clubs, there were only 2 Preliminary Rounds, before the 1st and and 2nd Qualifying Rounds, followed by the 1st Round "proper", which was technically the Quarter Finals. As previously, the Quarter Finals ie "1st Round Proper" was when the four "selected clubs" entered. Twelve clubs were given a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round ie to bypass the Preliminary rounds
• So 16 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 12 more into the 1st Qualifying Round and then 4 more into the Quarter Finals
• The previous season winners Newton Heath Athletic were one of the selected clubs, but got knocked out by Denton in their first game
• This was the first season that Oldham Athletic played in the Cup, having tried to move to what later became known as Boundary Park, but instead were playing at Hudson Fold. They went out in the very first Preliminary Round though, after a replay against Mossley (not the modern day club, but an earlier version just renamed from Round Hey)
• The other modern day club playing this season was Broadheath (renaming in 1903 to Altrincham) and they had their 2nd best season so far, reaching the Semi-Finals (they had reached the Final in 1897)
• The Final saw Heywood of the Central Lancashire League get all the way to meet the Manchester League champions Tonge at Middleton's ground. Tonge just beat them 3-2 to win the Cup for the first time at the 11th attempt

1901-02 : Heywood
• The total entrants for the Cup was now down to just 26 clubs. With 12 clubs leaving, that meant just 5 new clubs and 1 returning after a long gap
• The returning club was Failsworth, who had left in 1896, but rejoined as they moved to join the Manchester League as well
• The format of the competition remained the same as last season, except due to the reduced number of clubs, there were only 2 ties in the 1st Preliminary Round. The 2nd Preliminary Round followed, before the 1st and and 2nd Qualifying Rounds, followed by the 1st Round "proper", which was technically the Quarter Finals. As previously, the Quarter Finals ie "1st Round Proper" was when the four "selected clubs" entered. Twelve clubs were given a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round ie to bypass the Preliminary rounds
• With the Central Lancashire League having troubles, this led to problems for Freetown, and they withdrew from the Cup at a late stage. They would have had a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round, and so Sale Holmfield were voted to gain the bye in their place
• So 4 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 6 more in the 2nd Preliminary Round, 12 more into the 1st Qualifying Round and then 4 more into the Quarter Finals
• The previous season winners Tonge were one of the selected clubs, but got knocked out by Berry's Association after a replay in the Quarter Finals
• This was the second season that Oldham Athletic played in the Cup, and this time got to the 1st Qualifying Round. However, their next match against Heywood United, saw them play them 3 times after the games were ordered to be played again. Firstly due to darkness, then Oldham were fined £1 1s for an ineligible player at the next attempt to settle it, before they then crashed out 7-1
• The Final saw last season's finalist Heywood, now of the Manchester League, beat league rivals Berry's Association 2-1 at Tonge's ground. This was Heywood's first and only Manchester Junior Cup win

1902-03 : Oldham Athletic
• The total entrants for the Cup was now down to just 22 clubs, a further reduction and the lowest since 1890. With 14 clubs leaving, that meant again 5 new clubs but this time 5 returned after a gap
• The returning clubs were Droylsden (not related to the modern side), Dukinfield Borough (who didn't turn up for their game!), Freetown, Hollinwood (returning for the first time since 1893/94) and Rusholme (first time since 1896/7)
• The format of the competition remained similar to last season, except due to the reduced number of clubs, there was now only a single Preliminary Round, and then only 2 ties in it. 1st and and 2nd Qualifying Rounds followed, then the 1st Round "proper", which was technically the Quarter Finals. As previously, the Quarter Finals ie "1st Round Proper" was when the four "selected clubs" entered. Fourteen clubs were given a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round ie to bypass the Preliminary round
• With the Central Lancashire League still having troubles, Freetown had missed last season, but they returned anyway. Denton though were a late withdrawal
• So 4 clubs started in the Preliminary Round, 14 more into the 1st Qualifying Round and then 4 more into the Quarter Finals
• The previous season winners Heywood were one of the selected clubs, but got knocked out by Oldham Athletic in the Quarter Finals
• This was the third season that Oldham Athletic played in the Cup, and this time they went through and won it
• The Final was again an all-Manchester League game. Berry's Association were showing their strength by reaching a 2nd consecutive Final, but were again beaten by a single goal margin
NAME CHANGES
• Newton Heath - the new name of Newton Heath Athletic, taking the name from the club that had just changed to become Manchester United
NEWLY ENTERING
• Abbey Hey - from the East Manchester area
• Fernleigh - from the Royton area of Oldham
• Manchester & Salford Teachers Association - from the Manchester area
• Parkfield Central - from the Middleton area, north of Manchester (Woodside ground)

RETURNING AFTER A BREAK

• Hollinwood - returning from eight seasons away
• Rusholme - returning from five seasons away

NAME CHANGES

1903-04 : Berry's Association
• The total entrants for the Cup was down yet again and there was just 19 clubs, and this was the lowest since the very first season (18). With 15 clubs leaving, there were 8 new clubs and another 4 returned after some time away
• The returning clubs were Altrincham (one season away and newly renamed from Broadheath), Denton (back after having withdrawn at the last minute last season), Failsworth (also back after one season away), and Urmston (returning after four seasons away)
• The deadline for entries was extended to the 1st October, presumably to try and attract more entrants. It did mean that the competition didn't get underway until 14th November
• The format of the competition was tweaked due to the lower number of clubs. There was now two small Preliminary Rounds, and then just one Qualifying Round. This was then followed by the 1st Round "proper", which was technically the Quarter Finals. As previously, the Quarter Finals was when the four "selected clubs" entered. So 6 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 5 more had a bye to the 2nd Preliminary Round and 4 more to the Qualifying Round
• Parkfield Central had been playing at Woodside last season but this time round, with no known league, they were playing their games at Tonge's ground for some reason.
• Another oddity was Rossall Mission who played in the North Salford League before and after this season but not this season. They also were disqualified for playing their game at the neighbouring Brewery Park, home of Newton Heath, without informing the Manchester FA
• The Final was again an all-Manchester League game, and in fact the same as the previous season's final. This time though, Berry's Association were the victors against Oldham Athletic by a single goal. This was Oldham's third consecutive final

NAME CHANGES
• None
OUTGOING
• Crossley's Old Boys - believed to have folded
• Glossop United - did not enter the next season and folded mid-way through that season
• Harpurhey Wesleyans Athletic - did not enter the next season and folded at the end of that season
• Hollinwood - believed to have folded
• Millbrook St James - did not enter again
• Oldham Athletic - did not enter again
• Parkfield Central - did not enter again until 1906/07
• Rossall Mission - did not enter the next season and folded at the end of that season
1904-05 : Berry's Association
• The total entrants for the Cup was finally back up, now being 23 clubs. With 8 clubs of last season's entrants leaving, there were 6 new clubs and another 6 returned after some time away
• The returning clubs were Cheetham Hill (who had last played in the very first season 1887/88), Didsbury (back after 2 seasons away), Freetown (back after one season away, but clearly not the force they were a few years ago), Hooley Hill (back after one season away), Hyde (with rumours of a merger with Hyde St George's starting, they returned after three seasons away) and Sale Holmfield (back after 2 seasons away).
• The format of the competition was similar to how it was last season. There were two Preliminary Rounds, with the first now having 7 ties. The Qualifying Round was then followed by the 1st Round "proper", which was technically the Quarter Finals. As previously, the Quarter Finals was when the four "selected clubs" entered. So 14 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 1 more had a bye to the 2nd Preliminary Round and 4 more to the Qualifying Round
• Two clubs scratched their 1st Preliminary Round ties. Old Collegians withdrew, but continued on in the Manchester Amateur League. However Hadfield Ramblers seemed to have disappeared before the season even started, and are presumed folded from that point.
• The Final saw Altrincham equal their best performance, reaching a 2nd Final. The last was in 1897 as Broadheath. Berry's Association though were now in their 4th consecutive Final and were the first club to retain the Cup since Middleton 12 seasons earlier.
• The main controversy of the season was caused by the Manchester FA itself. The Manchester League was not happy with them for not just inviting clubs to join the Manchester Junior Cup, but to enter them without their consent, and then ask for confirmation later. This was the case for 4 teams and the Manchester League advised the clubs to reject the entry. Two did reject (not clear who they were), but Denton and Hooley Hill accepted anyway. The League subsequently advised that any alteration to league games as a consequence of the cup “would form a subject in which compensation for same would figure”. While Hooley Hill did not suffer any consequence, Denton’s New Year’s Eve game with Northwich Victoria had to be postponed due to their Cup tie with Hyde. Denton responded by withdrawing instead from the Hyde Cup. Northwich Victoria were said to considering filing for compensation for the loss of the lucrative holiday fixture. The Manchester League raised a complaint to the Manchester FA about the offical who was responsible for it.
The above article is from the Manchester Evening News, 24 December 1904.

Sat 25 Mar 1905 | Altrincham | 0-1 | Berry's Association |
Longford Bridge (Stretford) |
3.30pm |
Mr H Pollitt (Manchester) |
HT 0-0. Attendance: 4500 Played at Stretford's ground |
NAME CHANGES
• Weaste Amateurs - changed their name to Salford United
OUTGOING
• Ashton Holy Trinity - did not enter the next season and folded at the end of that season
• Cheetham Hill - did not enter the following season but re-entered for 1906/07
• Didsbury - did not enter the following season but re-entered for 1906/07
• Failsworth - did not enter again
• Freetown - believed to have folded
• Hadfield Ramblers - believed to have folded even before their scheduled tie this season
• Hyde - after much speculation, merged with Hyde St George's in 1906, though did not enter the cup again
• Old Collegians - did not enter the following season but re-entered for 1906/07
• Stalybridge Albion - did not enter again
1905-06 : Pendlebury
• The total entrants for the Cup continued to rise back up, now being 26 clubs. With 9 clubs of last season's entrants leaving, there were 7 new clubs and another 5 returned after some time away
• The returning clubs were Black Lane Temperance (who were on a steep decline after leaving the Lancashire Combination and returning after one pervious appearance in the Cup in 1901/02), Heaton Park (back after a long time away, having last played in 1892/93), Heywood United (back after three seasons away), Manchester South End (back after the longest period away so far - they previously played in the first 2 seasons 1887/88 and 1888/89), and Rusholme (back after two seasons away).
• The competition was similar to how it was last season, retaining the 3-tier format. There were two Preliminary Rounds, with the first now having 5 ties and the 2nd just two ties. The Qualifying Round was then followed by the 1st Round "proper", which unlike previous seasons was the round before the Quarter Finals. So there were no longer 4 "selected clubs" but the 12 biggest clubs joined in the 1st Round "proper". So 10 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 1 more had a bye to the 2nd Preliminary Round, 3 more to the Qualifying Round and 12 to the 1st Round.
• However unlike in all previous seasons, except the very first season, some teams got a later bye. After winning their 1st Preliminary Round tie, both Springfield Athletic and Rusholme went straight to the Qualifying Round. In addition, after playing the 2 Preliminary Round ties, Royton bypassed the Qualifying Round and went straight into the 1st Round "proper".
• Last season's winners Berry's Association failed to reach the Final for the first time since 1900/01. Denton knocked them out 2-1 in the Semi-Final to reach the Final for the first time.
• The Final itself saw 2 new Finalists. With Denton having their best performance, it was another all-Manchester League final, and Pendlebury were second time entrants, reaching only the 2nd Preliminary Round last season. They won the Cup topping off a great season, having moved up from the Manchester Federation to the Manchester League this season, winning 2-1 at Sale Holmfield's Atkinson Road.
NAME CHANGES
• Salford United - the new name of Weaste Amateurs
NEWLY ENTERING
• Droylsden - this is not the same club as the Droylsden that folded in 1903 and had previously played in the Cup. This was Droylsden United, who moved into the old club's ground and changed their name to Droylsden, and are the present day club (Butcher's Arms ground)
• Hooley Hill Albion - from east of Manchester, and upon the demise of Ashton-under-Lyne, moved into their ground (Athletic Grounds ground)
• Pendleton Lads' Club - from the Salford area (London Street ground)
• Royton - from the Oldham area, and their Reserves had previously played in the Cup 12 seasons earlier
• Springfield Athletic - from the Eccles area, west of Manchester
• Stand - from the Whitefield area, north of Manchester
• Unsworth - from the Bury area, north of Manchester
RETURNING AFTER A BREAK
• Black Lane Temperance - returning from three seasons away
• Heaton Park - returning from a large twelve seasons away
• Heywood United - returning from three seasons away
• Manchester South End - last played in the Cup in the very first two seasons, so returned after sixteen seasons away
• Rusholme - returning from two seasons away
LEAGUES
Of the 26 teams entering this season, I have been unable to trace any league for 1 of them (Black Lane Temperance) and after having dropped from the Lancashire Combination, they were expected to join the Central Lancashire League. However that league folded, and they played instead in the Parks Cup, which was the CLL's cup competition, but this season also had other entrants from around the Bury area. So it can be assumed that they didn't enter a league this season, and indeed had folded before 1906/07 season started. Despite having dropped out of the Lancashire Combination, they were still awarded a bye to the 1st Round proper along with the bigger Junior sides.

NAME CHANGES
• None
OUTGOING
• Altrincham - did not enter again
• Black Lane Temperance - believed to have folded
• Heywood United - did not enter again
• Sale Holmfield - did not enter again, choosing to focus on the FA Cup and the Cheshire Senior Cup
• Thornsett United - did not enter again
1906-07 : Denton
• The total entrants for the Cup continued its rise, now being 38 clubs, the highest since 1899/00. With only 5 of last season's entrants leaving, there were 9 new clubs and another 8 returned after some time away
• The returning clubs were Cheetham Hill, Didsbury and Old Collegians (all missing last season), Ladybarn Lads' Club (back for the first time since 1895/96), Longsight (back for the first time since 1896/97), Mosley (back after 17 seasons away since 1888/89), Old Trafford (back for the first time since 1893/94) and Parkfield Central (back after 2 seasons away)
• One of the new teams was Chadderton, who given a bye to the First Round "proper" due to being in the Manchester League and therefore considered one of the stronger clubs. However, their placing in the Manchester League was controversial due to the fact that they were a former Northern Union (rugby league) side who changed codes to Association. Despite no proof of their ability at association football, they were elected into the Manchester League, only to have many heavy defeats and eventually fold, not long after losing 7-0 to Denton in their 1st Round Junior Cup tie
• Three-time winners Berry's Association were now in both the Manchester Senior Cup and the Manchester Junior Cup, and went out in the Semi-Finals to Old Trafford
• Sale Holmfield decided to not compete for the Manchester Junior Cup, and instead entered the FA Cup, along with the Cheshire Senior Cup
• Due to the increase in teams, still in a 3-tier format, there were now a lot of byes to the 2nd of 3 Preliminary Rounds. The first now having 6 ties and the 2nd having 8 ties, down to 4 in the 3rd Preliminary Round. The four winners were through to meet 4 that had byes to the Qualifying Round. This was then followed by the 1st Round "proper", which had 8 more ties. So like last season, the 12 biggest clubs joined in the 1st Round "proper". So 12 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 10 more had a bye to the 2nd Preliminary Round, 4 more to the Qualifying Round and 12 to the 1st Round.
• Last season's winners Pendlebury went out in the Quarter Finals 6-2 to eventual winners Denton.
• The Final itself saw a return of last season's beaten finalist Denton. They faced surprise team from the Manchester Amateur League Old Trafford, who had started in the Qualifying Round. Played at Manchester City's Hyde Road ground, in front of 3000 fans, Denton won 3-0 to claim the Cup for the first and only time
• Denton, along with Hooley Hill, nearly didn't take part in the Cup at all, as both had failed to enter. However the Manchester FA then informed both that they, along with Old Collegians, as full members of the Manchester FA were required to play in it, whether they wanted to enter or not. This suggests that the Manchester FA could enforce full members to be in it, despite the protest put up by the Manchester League a couple of years ago on this point. Indeed, according to the Athletic News on Mon 17 Sept 1906, it is stated that Denton had declined to enter because, though playing in the final (1905/06), the competition had "not proved a financial benefit to them". Their win in 1906/07 would hopefully have given them some benefit

• Droylsden - did not enter again
• Glossop Central - did not enter again next season and folded in 1908
• Hooley Hill Albion - did not enter again
• Longsight Loco - believed to have folded
• Moorside - did not enter again
• Old Collegians - folded midway through the season
• Oldham Emmanuel - folded at the start of the season, before their scheduled first match

1907-08 : Eccles Borough
• This season saw a brand new actual Cup. It was replaced in time for this season, with the new one reportedly valued at 45 guineas (which in 2025 money is over £7100)
• The total entrants for the Cup reduced slightly from 38 down to 35 clubs. This was due to the 16 clubs leaving being replaed by only 13 new clubs. Although none returned after a gap, the Levensulme club formed in 1906 to replace the one that folded in 1903 was one of the new clubs.
• The eventual winners Eccles Borough were last season known as Springfield Athletic, basically a works team for the Springfield Mill in Barton area of Eccles. They changed their name and moved to a new ground nearby, Bradburn Street
• The modern Rochdale club made their debut this season, having just been formed to play at what was later renamed Spotland. They did well, going out in the Semi-Final replay
• Castleton Moor withdrew before their opening game, due to problems with their Whittingham Park ground, having just moved from the Rochdale & District League to the Heaton Park & District League
• The rounds of byes were now reduced to two. This meant that the 1st Preliminary Round had 7 ties and the 2nd having 8 ties due to 9 byes, down to 4 in the 3rd Preliminary Round. The four winners went straight to the First Round (no need for a Qualifying Round this season). The First Round had 8 ties, so like recent seasons, the 12 biggest clubs joined in the 1st Round "proper". So 14 clubs started in the 1st Preliminary Round, 9 more had a bye to the 2nd Preliminary Round, and 12 to the 1st Round.
• Last season's winners Denton went out in the Quarter Finals 4-0 to new-boys Rochdale
• The Final itself saw newly named Eccles Borough face the Manchester Federation debut club New Mills St George's, who had started way back in the 2nd Preliminary Round. Played at Stretford's Longford Bridge ground, Eccles Borough won 2-0 to claim the Cup for the first and only time

1908-09 : Berry's Association
• The total entrants for the Cup reduced again from 35 down to 30 clubs. This was due to again 16 clubs leaving being replaed by only 10 new clubs and one returned after a gap.
• Didsbury were the team that returned after a gap, and this was the 3rd time they had returned after time away. The had been elimated in the 1st Preliminary Round in each of their last 3 attempts. This was their best season since 1898/99, reaching the 1st Round Proper
• The longest serving club in the Manchester Junior Cup so far, Stretford, who had first played in the 1889/90 season, didn't return, having folded in the summer. This would have been their 20th consecutive season in the Cup
• The rounds had a slight reshuffle this season with just a single Preliminary Round of 4 clubs, and then two Qualifying rounds re-introduced before the First Round Proper, which was the last 16. This meant that the Preliminary Round had 2 ties. The 2 winners joined 14 others in the 1st of the 2 Qualifying rounds. The four winners went through to the First Round. The First Round had 8 ties, so like recent seasons, the 12 biggest clubs joined in the 1st Round "proper". So 4 clubs started in the Preliminary Round, 14 more had a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round, and 12 to the 1st Round.
• Last season's winners Eccles Borough didn't re-join, so this season, the 4-time winners Berry's Association made it five wins
• The Final itself saw Berry's face the new entrants Hazel Grove. Played at Manchester United's Bank Street ground, it was a 1-1 draw in front of a 2000 crowd. The replay was then played at Manchester City's Hyde Road ground, with a similar 2000 attendance. Berry's winning the game 2-0 for their 5th Cup win.

unknown | unknown |
HT 0-1. FT 1-1. Played at Waterloo due to the original tie being switched from Pendleton. Some reports suggested no more scoring in ET, hence finishing 1-1, but 2-2 quoted as final score. Game was due to have had an early KO and played to a finish, being resolved on the day but this didn't happen and it went to a 2nd replay |

1909-10 : Alderley Edge United
• The total entrants for the Cup remained stable at 30 clubs. This was due to only 10 clubs leaving, and 9 new clubs joined, plus one returned after a gap.
• Manchester Zion were the team that returned after a gap, and it was a significant gap as their only previous season was 1897/98. Now though they were in the Manchester Amateur League 1st Division, but only reached the 1st Qualifying Round, losing their only game 4-2 to Heaton Park. That was better than their only other game from 1897 where they had lost 9-1 to Broadheath
• The rounds all remained the same as the Preliminary Round again had just 4 clubs, and then two Qualifying rounds before the First Round Proper, which was the last 16. This meant that the Preliminary Round had 2 ties. The 2 winners joined 14 others in the 1st of the 2 Qualifying rounds. The four winners went through to the First Round. The First Round had 8 ties, so like recent seasons, the 12 biggest clubs joined in the 1st Round "proper". So 4 clubs started in the Preliminary Round, 14 more had a bye to the 1st Qualifying Round, and 12 to the 1st Round.
• Last season's winners and the most successful team so far, Berry's Association were knocked out after a marathon 1st Round tie by newcomers Ramsbottom. This included a very controversial game where a Ramsbottom player was stood behind the goal line at a penalty kick being defended. The keeper saved it, he re-entered the pitch and cleared away the ball before the striker could shoot the rebound. The referee refused to see the penalty re-taken as he said the player was entitled to be stood there and re-enter the pitch. Berry's protested to the Manchester FA, who agreed with them, and the referee admitted that he had mis-interpretted Law 17, and the match was made void and re-played for a 3rd time (after the 1st game was abandoned at 3-3 due to the weather). Interestingly, the 3rd game was decided by a successful Ramsbottom penaty and a Berry's missed penalty.
• There was more refereeing controversy in the Semi-Final as Tyldesley Albion claimed the referee was refusing to award them decisions of blatant goals in a 0-0 draw v Old Trafford. 4 times the referee had awarded handball or offside when at least 3 of the chances apparently should have been given. When the replay was eventually played in a 5.30pm KO in late March, it must have been close to darkness when completed, but this time "excellently refereed" for a 2-1 Tyldesley Albion win.
• The Final saw newcomers Alderley Edge United of the Manchester Federation face Manchester League side Tyldesley Albion. Played at Hurst's Hurst Cross ground, it was a 2-1 win for the Federation side in front of 2500 fans, and all the goals came in the first 10 mins.

2-1 VOID |
Berry's Association |
Nuttall Lane (Ramsbottom) |
unknown | unknown |
HT 2-1 Berry’s sent in a protest to the Manchester FA “on a point of law”. This was due to a Ramsbottom player standing behind the goal line at a penalty kick being defended, and after the keeper saved it, re-entered the pitch and cleared away the ball before the striker could shoot the rebound. The match was therefore ordered to be replayed after the referee admitted that he had misinterpreted the relevant law (law 17) regarding players off the field |
