The Richardson Trophy
The Richardson Trophy is a matchplay team event which is participated in by all six Northern Counties of England, i.e. Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria.
Each County plays the other 5 counties every year in daily matches, played off scratch, with seven players per team.
One year there are 3 home matches and the following year there will be two home matches for each County.
The matches are hotly contested and winning the Trophy is the Jewel in the Crown for the winning County.
The scoring for each match is:
1 point for a win
½ point for a half
and 0 points for a loss.
The winner of the Richardson Trophy is the County with the most match points.
