History of Mansfield Town F.C.
In the summer of 1921, Mansfield were admitted into the Midland Counties League (at the time one of the best divisions outside of the Football League), helped by an appearance in the Notts Senior Cup final and the Fifth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. A creditable first season in the Midland League was capped by a run in the FA Cup, reaching the 6th Qualifying round and taking League club Walsall to a replay. In 1922–23, the club again finished mid-table and again reached the 6th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, losing to Halifax.
