1936 Mulryne Cup

The 1936 Mulryne Cup was the eighth edition of the Mulryne Cup. Beginning with Welbury Steel's expulsion, the Mulryne Cup entered a period of decline which eventually led to its discontinuation.

Welbury Steel controversy
A number of clubs entered both the Mulryne Cup and the newly-founded National Cup for the 1936 season, among them Welbury Steel. In spite of this, and even though the National Cup began a month and a half earlier, Mulryne Cup organisers decided to stick to their traditional schedule of playing matches on the first Saturday of each month. On 27th June, Welbury Steel drew their National Cup match with Lighton Harbour, and as a result a replay was scheduled for 4th July. This would cause a clash with the previously scheduled city derby with Welbury St. John's. When Welbury Steel asked the AFGM to postpone this fixture until the following weekend, they were instead expelled from the competition, having brought the cup into disrepute by entering an upstart competition. In protest at this decision, Southeringdale Town resigned from the 1936 cup, citing concerns that the AFGM's treatment of Welbury Steel would set an unwanted precedent.
