The Ralph Slade Memorial Trophy
Over the years the club has given considerable enjoyment to both the boys who play and the parents and others who watch. One person who liked to watch our teams playing on the Recreation Ground was a Mr Ralph Slade who lived in Wargrave Road. Sadly he died in 1991 but as a reminder of his interest in our club his family kindly donated a trophy to the club. In line with the ideals of the club it was decided that this should be awarded each year to a boy in the oldest age group who has shown the best sportsmanship and the most dedication to the club during his time with us. This has been awarded each year since 1992 and the list of winners follows:
