Keyberry posted this little gem:

and asked "WHERE THE HELL IS THE DEVON PROFESSIONAL (TEXACO) 5-A-SIDE CUP?"
He might well have asked "WHAT THE HELL WAS THE DEVON PROFESSIONAL (TEXACO) 5-A-SIDE CUP?"
Argyle had not entered the Devon Bowl in 1973/74, leaving Exeter and Torquay to meet in the final.
For 1974/75, it was scrapped altogether but a 5-a-side tournament involving the three teams took place instead on Tuesday 14 January 1975 at the Mayflower Centre in Plymouth.
There was also a juniors competition.
Our two six-man squads were:
Mahoney, Boulton, Kennedy, Provan, Rowles, Sandercock P.
Hookway, Goslin, Beattie, Passmore, Jago, Mardell.
It was a busy few days for Bradley Beattie. He had scored two for the youth team at Bath City the night before and would then turn out for the reserves against Bath City again the day after!
The senior round robin resulted:
PA 3 EC 1
PA 4 TU 2
TU 2 EC 0
That put Argyle and Torquay into the final, which was drawn 4-4 with our goals coming from Provan, Sandercock 2 (1 a pen) and Boulton. We won the cup on a penalty shoot out 1-0.
The junior round robin resulted:
PA 3 TU 2
EC 4 TU 3
PA 5 EC 2
Junior final:
PA 6 EC 2
As far as I know, the tournament was not repeated, so is the cup still in our trophy cabinet?
