Claim: 1920–21 Lancashire Cup had many unknown teams but the ones known are Broughton Rangers and Leigh (founded in 1878)
Evidence: The number of teams entering this year's competition was increased by 2 from the previous season's 12 to 14 with the introduction of two junior/amateur clubs Wigan Highfield (who would become members of the league in two years time), and Cumbrian team Askam. Broughton Rangers beat Leigh in the final at The Willows, Salford by a score of 6-3.
