The County Senior Cup had been dominated locally since its start by either Hartlepool Rovers or West Hartlepool with the only change to that being 1890 when Hartlepool Rangers, who played near the Trams Sheds at Greenland, were runners up against Rovers.
The mid 1990s were to see the first major changes to the Competition for in 1995 the Game of Rugby went “open” and the old “amateur” system was consigned to history and since that date local appearances in the Competition have been few but the Competition continues as always.
However, two other Hartlepool District sides have made it to the Final, firstly Horden in 1995 losing to Stockton by 19 – 0 and then in 1998, TDSOB played Darlington Mowden Park on the New Friarage and went down 27 – 10.
