Under 16 French Cup for Girls

Holders: Dane Court GS (Thanet SFA)

The trophy was donated in 1972 by Tony French, KSFA General Secretary 1956-76 and ESFA Chairman 1986-87. From 1972-73 to 2022-23 it was a boys’ competition. From 2023-24, it has been re-designated as a girls’ competition to perpetuate the memory of its donor, and to further enhance the KSFA’s delivery of football for girls.
