Division 3 South Cup
History
The Division 3 South Cup (D3SC), or the "Football League Southern Section, Third Division, Challenge Cup Competition" to give it its official title, was a short-lived competition in the 1930s open to teams from Division 3 South. There was also a Division 3 North Cup but, unlike its modern equivalent, the Football League Trophy, there was no play-off between the two section winners. Reading were the last winners of the southern section in 1937-38, beating Bristol City 6-2 on aggregate in the final, and the cup still resides in their trophy cabinet.
