Southgate Tankard
Each year DUSCC makes an award to the person who is deemed to have made a worthy contribution to the club. This is by no means restricted to on-field performance; off-field efforts to assist in the running of the club may equally be recognised. The award is voted for by current players, and comes in the form of a pewter tankard which was generously presented to DUSCC by Donald Southgate in 1971.
