The trophy was kindly donated by the Spence family in aide of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and to help raise awareness of the disease which sadly claimed Frank’s life.

The pairing of David Smith and Sylvester Nolan were this year’s winners with an impressive aggregate score of 78 points, while Chris Murray and Trevor Sargent’s aggregate of 74 points saw them claim the runners-up spot.
