Current Competition, 2003-2012
From 2003-04 onwards, following Boston United's promotion to the Football league, the Lincolnshire Senior County Cup has been competed for by Boston United, Grimsby Town, Lincoln City and Scunthorpe United and organised as a knock-out competition. Teams in levels 5-8 of the English football league system compete for the Lincolnshire Senior Shield while those in levels 9-11 compete in the Lincolnshire County Senior Trophy. As the draw for the 2007-08 Senior Cup was made before Boston United's double relegation they remained in this competition where they were knocked out by eventual winners Scunthorpe United. The 2008-09 competition was reduced to just the three Football League sides with Grimsby Town defeating Lincoln City in a semi-final tie before losing to Scunthorpe United in the final. The 2009-10 saw just three Football League sides again with Scunthorpe United defeating Grimsby Town in the semi-final 3-0 before defeating Lincoln City on penalties 4-2 after a 1-1 draw. In 2010-11, Grimsby beat Lincoln 4-2 at Blundell Park before losing at Scunthorpe 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
