Precursors

Prior to the establishment of this competition, there were two less formal events for which the winners of the Middlesex Senior Cup were invited at the start of the following campaign. The first of these was the Merthr-Middlesex Charity Shield (inaugurated at the start of season 1990/1), and this was superseded by the Melksham-Middlesex Charity Shield. The first of these competitions was promoted by Russell Grant, the television personality and patron of a number of sports clubs in Middlesex. The game was instigated to raise funds for the Harefield Hospital, Middlesex's famous heart hospital, and involved Merthyr Tydfil FC as it came from the area of the UK - South Wales - with one of the highest rates of heart disease, reportedly because of risks associated with the mining industry. This event had disappeared by 1997/8, when the Federation of Middlesex Sport, using a contact in Wiltshire, instigated the successor, which it is believed, was contested only on this single occasion. Neither of these Charity Shield single-match competitions was an official Middlesex County FA event, but both were sanctioned and tacitly supported by the county. As with the Middlesex Super Cup, drawn matches went straight to a penalty shoot-out, without extra time. The following results are known; it is not known whether any other editions of these were played: MERTHYR-MIDDLESEX CHARITY SHIELD 11.08.1990 Merthyr Tydfil 2-2 Staines Town (Staines won 3-2 on penalties) 06.08.1994 Merthyr Tydfil 5-1 Staines Town MELKSHAM-MIDDLESEX CHARITY SHIELD 02.08.1997 Melksham Town 1-2 Staines Town Football competitions in England County Cup competitions Recurring sporting events established in 1999 1999 establishments in England Sport in Middlesex
