Bilston Town’s Floodlit Challenge Cup sponsored by Bilston Rotary Club is a unique competition, a Junior Cup Competition played at various ages within junior football starting at U11’s. The competitions were started in the 2009/10 season and is the only midweek junior competition in the country where every game is played under floodlights and on a full-size adult pitch.

Being involved in this competition is a huge thing for youth teams, it’s one of the few chances youth players will ever get to play under floodlights in a competitive environment within a semi-professional football stadium steeped in history, some really famous names has stepped out of Bilston’s tunnel onto their hallowed turf.

The winners not only received the prestigious title of the Floodlit Cup Winners but also the trophy and the title of Midlands Champions along with a £100 prize supplied by the sponsors Bilston Rotary Club
