Valerie Fraser Trophy
The Valerie Fraser Trophy also known as the Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup or the Women's Camanachd Cup is the premier trophy for women in the sport of shinty. It is played on a knock-out basis by the teams in the National League and is administered by the Women's Camanachd Association.
History
The trophy was originally donated to the Camanachd Association in memory of Valerie Fraser. It was originally a trophy for male teams and it was won by Glenurquhart in 1991. Some years later, after the competition fell into abeyance, it was donated to the Women's Camanachd Association and was first played for in 2002. The trophy is sponsored by Peter Gow.
In 2009, the WCA held the semi-finals on one day at University of Stirling. Glengarry defeated Tir Conaill Harps 2-1 to win the 2009 Cup.
In 2013, the Val was won by Badenoch & Strathspey 3-1 against Glasgow Mid Argyll.
There is also a national trophy for Division Two teams, the Marine Harvest Challenge Cup.
