Competition and Results -- Round 1
Involved 8 matches ( with no byes ) and 16 Clubs
The 1986-87 Yorkshire Cup was the seventy-ninth occasion on which the Yorkshire Cup competition was held. This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, and no leavers, but another new entrant in the form of Mansfield Marksman and so the total of entries increases by one up to eighteen. This in turn resulted in the necessity to increase the number of matches in the preliminary round to reduce the number of clubs entering the first round to sixteen. In a repeat of the 1983-84 Yorkshire Cup's final pairing, Castleford turned the tables, reversing the result and beating Hull F.C. by the score of 31-24 to win the trophy. The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 11,132 and receipts were £31,888. This was the fourth time in the incredible eleven-year period in which Castleford. previously only once winners in 1977, will make eight appearances in the Yorkshire Cup final, winning on four and ending as runner-up on four occasions.
