Tooting & Mitcham were losing finalists in the other two competitions after being beaten 2–1 by Barnet in the final of the London Charity Cup and 2–1 by Chelsea in the final of the London Challenge Cup. both finals were played on the winning side's home ground. The original trophy was donated by the Rt. Hon. Reginald Harrison.

Former winners include Cheshunt (1973–74), Wimbledon (1935–36; 1949–50; 1951–52), among others. The competition was discontinued in 1975.
