I seem to remember, much to the dismay of the presenting hierarchy we drank celebratory beer from the Trophy. To their further dismay when asked would it take pride of place in our Clubhouse, they were told we didn’t have one, but it would be safe in the Pub we drank after training – The Ship, Joel St – as the Landlord, who was a mate of ours – would chain it to a wall plinth he had and if necessary super glue the lid on.

It was returned the following year unscathed and intact, when we didn’t retain.
