About MeCircular trophy embossed "Aberdeen Public Schools Football Competition Presented by the Teachers of Aberdeen" with the Aberdeen City crest in the centre, leopards with three castles (castles are red enamel); with floral and ropework twist embossing. The outer circle carries the plates and roundels with the names of the trophy winners. Initially marked "P.S." (public school) later developments in education recorded as "Secondary" etc. The names of winners of trophy includes schools which no longer exist - it's also worth noting that apparently no competition took place 1915-1918. The first winner of the trophy in 1910 was Sunnybank Public School, the last was Bankhead in 1980.
