VOTE FOR PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT
Saturday, May 5th, 2012

MARJORIE POLLARD & CHRIS MOORE SALVER VOTING

Members of HWC have the opportunity of voting for the women's and men's 'Player-of-the-Tournament' at the London Test event currently taking place at the Olympic venue.

The Pollard Salver – for women players – was originally awarded to the best player at the Wembley international, but since that was discontinued the award has been made to a player at an event decided by the committee.

The Moore Salver – for men players – came into existence in 1999 shortly after that member's death.
