This cup is our oldest trophy, first competed in 1935 and won by Mrs Ayling in 1938, but we still do not know anything about Charles Ayling.

The 2010 competitors

It was competed every year from 1935 to 1986 with a gap in 1944 and then not from 1986. In 1994 it was assigned to an AC handicap tournament and re-assigned in 2003 for Advanced play.

Three of those present  were previous winners, including manager simon Whiteley,  and they were again the tournament leaders, but on who-beat-whom basis, Edward nudged ahead of Mark & Simon to add  his name for the second time.

The following weekend Mark did well in a strong B-level field at Roehampton and earned a half-point handicap reduction, while Ray and John R struggled amongst the minnows.
