A bylaw in 1932 for the first time allowed RMTC membership to women to play squash. This tournament is named after one of the first women Club members who played squash in the 1930s. The actual trophy was originally won by Joan (pictured right) and presented by a Colonel Tolhurst for the Club's women's squash competition.
A special thank-you to David Hayne, whose mother this tournament is named after.
