Trophy Supplier to the Yorkshire Matchplay

Sheffield Golf Trophies is the Yorkshire Matchplay Trophy Supplier.

Sheffield Golf Trophies have been announced as the company that will supply the trophies for the inaugural Yorkshire Matchplay Golf Championship.

Supplying golf clubs across the UK, with trophies and awards since 1995, the Sheffield based company have been commissioned to supply a magnificent Laurel Wreath Cup for the Individual Champion whilst the winners in the Pairs tournament will be competing for a splendid trophy known as the Wentworth Cup.

The Tenby Laurel Wreath Cup (left) stands at an impressive 18” in height and has a double-base with cleft like spiral bands. Valued at over £1,000 the hand-made silver trophy, crafted in Britain, is hand-chased with intricate detail and has a luxury mahogany plinth.

Meanwhile the substantial Wentworth Cup (below) is a large trophy of similar value with a contemporary design providing a highly polished silver-plated finish. The 15” masterpiece also sits upon a desirable mahogany base.

The trophies will be presented at the conclusion of the Grand Final at Alwoodley on September 16th 2010. The winners of the respective competitions will retain the trophy for one year. Winners will be given a golfing figure memento to keep, also provided by Sheffield Golf Trophies.

Tournament Director of the Yorkshire Matchplay and member of Dewsbury Golf Club, Edward Battye, said, “I am delighted that Sheffield Golf Trophies have come on board as our trophy and memento supplier. They have a fabulous reputation throughout the country as a supplier of awards and trophies to golf clubs and the fact that they are based in Yorkshire makes it even more special.”

Sheffield Golf Trophies (www.golftrophies.org.uk) have provided a point of contact for years to local craftsmen who produce the most prestigious sports awards in the world.

Time served engravers will turn any of the special awards into a personalised mark of achievement.

Owner of Sheffield Golf Trophies, Mike Beaumont, said, “We are very proud to be supplying the Yorkshire Matchplay with the trophies and mementos for this exciting new knockout competition. I have no doubt that the winners will be very pleased with the quality of the trophies and they will stand the test of time for future champions.”

He added, “ We already supply a number of golf club secretaries in Yorkshire with awards for their annual presentation evenings so hopefully this goes even further to strengthening our bond with golf in Yorkshire.”

The Yorkshire Matchplay has now reached the third round stage as competitors throughout the county battle it out to win their region (North, East, South and West) and gain a place in the Grand Final at The Alwoodley Golf Club in September.
