The Rigby-Taylor Cup The Rigby-Taylor Cup was a competition played between 1953 and 1962 in order to give "the friendly rivalry between Luton Town and Watford an organised and competitive basis". The annual contest came about when floodlights were installed at Watford's Vicarage Road ground in 1953;[24] to mark the occasion, the decision was made to play a match under the new lights against Luton Town, against whom the club had not contested a competitive match since 1937. A home-and-away system was agreed upon, and the first match, billed as the first leg of the "Watford F.C. Invitation Cup", took place on 13 October 1953: a 1–1 draw at Vicarage Road. The competition had been renamed "The Rigby-Taylor Cup" after Watford's chairman, T. Rigby-Taylor, by the time of the second leg on 24 March 1954, at Kenilworth Road; Luton beat Watford 4–1 to win 5–2 on aggregate and thus claim the inaugural title. After the first season, the two-legged basis was abandoned in favour of a single match at Vicarage Road. The competition was then suspended from 1958 to 1961 due to FA Cup and League engagements. After returning for two seasons, the 1962–63 fixture was abandoned due to harsh weather – the annual match never returned. There were seven matches played over the course of six editions of the competition: the first (1953–54) was a two-legged competition, while the remaining five consisted of a single match. Of the seven matches, four were Luton victories, two were wins for Watford and one was a draw. Luton Town won the competition four times to Watford's two; the trophy, a silver, 12 inches (30 cm) tall, two-handled cup, was last won by Watford, who have since retained it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luton_Town_F.C.–Watford_F.C._rivalry
I suppose perhaps we could let the youth team play them like we do in the Herts County Cup, wouldn't be worthwhile otherwise.
I think Watford Ladies v Luton would be a decent match up, although the Ladies are having a great season. Could be a tough one for the Hatters.

4 teams unnecessary. 3 is better even as a round robin. U plays G, then U plays W, then W plays G. While the other two teams are playing the third unused team can circulate the ground doing autographs etc.
By jingo, you've really thought this through haven't you? Any ideas on what a superior goal difference would be worth?
