Awarded to the Player of the Match at the annual Wembley International*

Introduced for the first time in 1985 to be awarded annually to the outstanding player at the Women’s Wembley International.

Following the ending of the annual Wembley fixture it was decided to award the Salver at the major women’s home fixture of the year.

The Salver was in honour of Marjorie who was for so many years one of hockey’s outstanding journalists writing for the News Chronicile and The Guardian and was Editor of Hockey Field Maagazine between 1946 - 1970.

Marjorie competed in her first hockey match at school as a goalkeeper, but when her team was beaten 17–0, she opted to become a forward.

She won her first cap for England in 1921 and, except for two short periods, played regularly for the national team until 1933. Her goal-scoring feats were extraordinary, including eight goals that she scored against Germany in 1926 and 13 in the 20–0 defeat of Wales in 1928.
