The Patron’s Plate is the MEFL’s newest active competition having run annually since season 2014-15, with Haver Town winning the inaugural final.

As a result of being a relatively new competition, no club has lifted the trophy more than once, but previous winners Harold Wood Athletic, Benfleet and The Rodings will be looking to change that this term.

This season, the Cup will be contested by our Division Two and Three teams, with the final played at Witham Town FC, who have the potential to make it a home final as both their ‘B’ side will play in the competition.

Check back later in the season for more information including cup draws and results.
