From 2007-08 onwards, the SCC filled the niche that had earlier been addressed by the South Qualifying Cup, which inherently wasn't a national competition given it was only regional in scope. There are moves in progress at pyramid league related meetings to have a nonleague cup competition that is national in scope and according to a WoS officeholder who posts on here the LL, EoS and SoS are on board with that concept, so as stated in my post above hopefully we'll be seeing that emerge from next season onwards.
