Wrexham Victoria were awarded the cup, which Machynlleth protested, saying that Wrexham Victoria had used five players who were ineligible due to having played in the Chester & District League. Their protest was successful and Wrexham Victoria were ordered to return the cup to the Football Association of Wales.[1] It is unclear if the cup was ever awarded to Machynlleth. Wrexham Victoria are recorded as the cup winners by recent sources such as the RSSSF.[2]
