This year's contest at Stow-on-the-Wold Rugby Club on September 11 saw The Rest of the World, captained by Anthony Fell from Norfolk, pip CADA, led by Tom King-Smith of Stow, by 36 runs after a lively match with ''all round shows of sportsmanship".
The award presented to the victors by CADA chairman Ilona Johnson-Gibbs was the Christopher Clarke Trophy, a silver-banded and inscribed cricket ball on a stand named in honour of the late Stow dealer who organised the first matches in the 1970s (and whose dealer son Sean played for CADA in this match).
The match followed a hugely successful morning Swap Shop with plenty of business.
