The Alan Turvey Trophy,[1] also known as the Velocity Cup under a sponsorship deal, formerly the Isthmian League Cup, is a football knock-out cup competition organised by the Isthmian League in England.
History
Isthmian League Chairman and President Alan Turvey was among the FA's "150 Grassroots Heroes" who were presented in 2013, during the 150-year celebrations of the Football Association, with a specially minted medal by Prince William.[2] In June 2015, Turvey stepped down from the League after nearly 60 years involvement with football.[1] The Isthmian League cup was renamed in his honour. In 2024 the competition was named the Velocity Cup under a sponsorship deal.
