NIGEL BOYES TROPHY
The 'Nigel Boyes Trophy' was an individual sporting award for the aggregate winner of the open field games events although it appears to have started as a High Jump award as Mrs Blanche C Boyes donated £50 as a memorial prize for the Open High Jump in memory of her brother Nigel Irving Boyes who died 21 Feb, 1927. It was first listed as an award in 1927 won by N L Philip for High Jump and was then known as the Nigel Boyes Memorial Cup. It continued in this form until 1930, however, in 1929 and 1930 both the House event and this event were confusingly designated with the same award name. It disappears from 1931 until 1937. In 1938, when it reappears in the Prize List it is designated the Nigel Boyes Cup for Field Games and in 1939, the Nigel Boyes Trophy. It ceased to be awarded after 2003.
