History: An AGC Member brought the ‘purple rock’ from overseas and it was decided to mount it and use it as the trophy for this event. Originally played ‘home and away’ each year but later changed to alternate years at the instigation of AGC as they did not have enough players to field a team. This event started in the early 1990s.
