Really interesting article about the Masterton, Charlie. But is it even the oldest 20:20 competition in Edinburgh, or just the only one the posh clubs know about ? The Parks Trophy has been contested since 1891. I don't know what format the competition was played in in its early years, but for at least the last 16 it's been an evening 20:20. Does anyone else's memory stretch back further ?
