LANCASTER TROPHY
LANCASTER TROPHY
The Lancaster Trophy was donated by Mercia Lancaster in 1987, when the Tauranga Association split from Bay of Plenty, and has developed into a highly competitive 'Top 16' representative event between North Harbour, Auckland, Counties, Thames Valley, Waikato and Tauranga.
The Champion Centre is decided on Centre Wins first, and if that is drawn the event then comes down to a countback of overall games won.
