Ahead of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy semi-finals, we take a look at the 2023/24 competition so far.
Who won the competition last season?
Bolton won the Papa Johns Trophy – as it was called before the rebrand – for the second time back in April, with a 4-0 win over Plymouth in front of a crowd of just under 80,000 at Wembley. It was the biggest winning margin in any final since the competition was founded in 1981.
Bolton lifted the EFL Trophy for the second time in 2022/23
