I would be very grateful for a hint on how 19a "Open trophy ultimately kept in county jail"is parsed. I see the county and where the "t" comes from but can't see where "jail" fits in. What part of the clue is the definition?

Thank you jj109. I had "cup" (= "trophy") instead of "jug". Google helped with the definition.
