The Rural Branch Striking competition Trophy

The trophy is competed for by rural branch towers which enter in the yearly competition. The tropy was made and presented to the branch by Brian Angell in 1976, although it appears the competiton was started in 1968. It is the tradition that the winner of the competition goes forward to th association Croome tropy. To date although rural branch have entered every year we have never won the Croome trophy.
