2000/01 Alan Barber Cup
Ed Taylor reports:
A straight seeded knockout over four gruelling encounters... no round-robins, no second chances, no prisoners. One slip up and you're just another statistic on the EFA website. Fighting for the honour of their club, sweat would pour and blood would be spilt (and no doubt the odd dubious let requested)....it's all out war in the quest to win that most desirable Trophy...the Holy Grail of Club Fives...the Alan Barber Cup!

Once again the Barber Cup was a hugely exciting and dramatic event! Full of surprises and some titanic confrontations. It is sad that some formerly mighty clubs struggled to raise sides in the early rounds.

Sadly this year the first and second rounds were marred by teams failing to produce sides. As a result the Old Salopians, seeded one, and the Old Cholmeleians, seeded two, had byes straight through to the semi-finals.
