2013/14 Turnbull Trophy - Olave's and Shrewsbury in the Final

The 2013 Graham Turnbull Trophy took place at Eton on Sunday 17th November with 28 pairs from 8 different schools taking part. The standard was exceptionally high and the tournament produced some cracking matches.

Each pair in the Turnbull Trophy consists of one current and one former pupil from any given school and works on an individual pairs basis in the same way that the Richard Barber Cup works for teams. As with the Richard Barber, the result was a St.Olave's (Dom Robson and Seb Cooley) v Shrewsbury (Henry Blofield and George Thomason) final, which will be played later in the season.
