History
The trophy has been played for a few years now but was possibly first played for in 2014.
The 2015 final was an exciting affair. After a goalless first half, Lauren Pike put GMA in front before Kate Bradley retaliated for Ardnamurchan. Carolanne Cameron then gave Ardnamurchan team the lead with just four minutes left. In the final minute Kirsty Gray equalised and the game went to extra time. The drama continued with Geraldine Murphy gave the lead back to GMA before Cameron scored again for the west highlanders. GMA triumphed 2-0 in the penalty shout out.
