Seen on Facebook it's not and would think it unlikely to return.

No the Southern League has suspended the competition for this season.

Thing is Chris it's one of those competitions half the clubs dont want to play in but obliged to and judging by the last sponsor they was struggling. Any point playing it?
County Cup I consider different for historical reasons. Sadly the Herts FA dont treat there Premier cup the same as other counties do.

Yet the Isthmian League are continuing theirs.
Re County Cups: Happy that the Charity Cup is still suspended. Gave me more headaches as Fixtures Secretary than any other competition. Re the Senior Cup: For me it is diminished in importance and prestige because of the downbeat way they finish the competition. Normally at Cheshunt, Stortford or Hemel - the only ones with big enough facilities to house the hangers on who have normally eaten all the buffet before half time! Why they continue not to aim to host it at the Herts County FA ground I don't know. Obvious it is not up to standard required.
But then Beds FA seem to be able to procure Kenilworth Road for their Senior Cup Final.

As a side thing noticed this article on the Comet this week. The prestige the competition once held....
