Bradford took it fairly seriously by fielding many of the first team squad with the addition of a few fringe players. Teenage sensation (well in Bradford anyway) Joe Brown scored on his debut. Bradford made it to the Quarter Finals before losing 2-1 to Kidderminster. Lee Crooks were sent off in the 6th minute. Swansea used the trophy to their advantage by getting to the playoff final before losing on penalties. It might be a minor trophy but it's a good competition for the teams to prepare themselves for the FA Cup games and the playoffs. Also it could be the first game to be held at Wembley.

Do you remember those games Barton, Ian???
