The National U12/U13’s Tournament is a junior competition which was first introduced back in the 1976/77 Season for boys under the age of thirteen years old, following the expansion of Little League Football. The competition is the most prestigious in what is offered by Little League Football. The original trophy was donated by William “Tom” Arnold, the President, which replicated the well-known English F.A Cup.

Back in 2001, the National Tournament was hosted at Leyton Orient F.C where snooker legend, Steve Davis, presented the trophies the competition was also sponsored by the Sunday Mirror.

The competition format has changed over the years, most recent was in 2004 with the representation Leagues who participate in the cup having being divided into equal groups, where possible. The winners of each group then progress to the “Finals” week, where the semi-finals and final are played to determine the champions of the competition.

In 2018 ‘mixed’ teams were introduced with the addition of the new Frank Adey Trophy in remembrance of our late founder.
