Hythe's Winning 2012 Side |
HISTORY OF THE COMPETITION |
The Tony Woodhouse Trophy was set up in 2003 with the idea of Hythe using it to bring youngsters into adult cricket. Lawrence Read at Fawley had been doing it for years and together the two clubs invited Beaulieu to form a Triangular Tournament with the sides playing each other once.
After a few teething seasons - In 2007 Sway were asked to join and the three sides - and thanks to Lawrence & Dave at Sway - Hythe & Dibden, Fawley & Sway have been competing for the trophy ever since, playing the game in the spirit Tony use to enjoy for over fifty years.
Through the 80’s the team consisted of Tony, Alan Wiltshire and 9 colts representing Hythe 2nd XI which resulted in heavy defeats and some objections from the opponents. Yet Hythe ignored the complaints and many of the Senior players today benefited from those years of cricket. Tony never complained though – he was happy in the slips with the young lads running around the field and if they dropped a catch off his bowling, he use to shout ‘ never mind you’ll catch the next one’.
