History of South London Schools FA and the Magazine Cup

The South London Schools FA (SLSFA) was founded in 1885 making it one of the oldest schools football associations in the world. LPSFL is pleased to be affiliated to such an historic football association.

The SLSFA runs representative schools teams from under 11 which is the LPSFL age group up to under 19s. In recent seasons at under 11 SLSFA has had success winning the Finch (twice) and Kay Trophies and an international 7 a side competition in France (twice) with the bulk of the team provided by LPSFL schools.

The Magazine Cup was inaugurated in the 1930s by the SLSFA and was so named because the silver cup awarded to the winners was provided by a local sports magazine. The original silver trophy is still awarded to the winning school and is now held by Corpus Christi of Brixton Hill who beat Loughborough of Brixton to win the cup for the first time.

The final, as usual was an exciting and well attended game, it was a great end to the season and was a marvellous advert for our League. The game was played with passion and skill for which praise should go to both teams. The coaches also deserve recognition for allowing their teams to play exciting football in a sporting manner.

Congratulations to Michael Brady of Corpus Christi and Steve Gale and Chaz Simmons of Loughborough.
