 The increasing dominance of the county's two Football League sides Grimsby Town and Lincoln City saw the inauguration of the 'Lincolnshire Senior County Cup' which was played between the other Lincolnshire teams.The trophy was, by now, a minor consideration for the two clubs.For example a crowd of just 2,334 gathered at Sincil Bank on 24 September 1934 to see Lincoln defeat Grimsby 5-0 compared to Lincoln's league average attendance of 5,227 for that season The competition was not held in either of the 1938-39 or 1939-40 seasons as the two clubs met in matches for the Football League Jubilee Fund, Lincoln coming out victorious in the first and Grimsby in the second.
