The Jack Watson Trophy
For the 1982 season Malcolm Watson donated a trophy to the Club in memory of his father, Jack, a hardworking member who played for the Club for 21 seasons - between 1947 and 1967. When his playing days were over, Jack continued to serve the Club as a highly competent Umpire.

The trophy is awarded to the batsman who has scored the most runs for Chingford* during the previous summer season.
For a full list of winners of the trophy and the number of runs they scored, visit the Honours Board Page.
*Traditionally, all Chingford matches count except those during Cricket Week. Thus, to win the trophy, a player probably has to play a lot of matches and bat in many innings.
The first winner of the trophy was Richard Alston who scored over 1300 runs,who went on to claim a near monopoly on the Trophy through the 1990s.
The current holder of the Jack Watson Trophy is Ayaz Shah.
