I emailed Lancashire Schools Football Ass,they came back to me with the information that Harry Boyle presented a cup to Blackburn Schools FA in 1897 it is still competed for today by Blackburn with Darwen schools FA.

He also presented one to schools in the Rishton,Harwood and Accrington district in the 1920s but not sure if it is still contested for today.

Blakey Moor Sec Modern won the Blackburn cup in 1947. with Bryan Douglas in the team.

The person who emailed this was going on holiday,and will be back in touch nearer the end of the month with possibly more information.
