Moore Trophy
One of the original aspirations of the Northern Counties Chess Union was the organisation of an inter-county team championship.
At an NCCU Executive Meeting held on 02/12/1899, in Leeds, the President, Albert Edward Moore (30/04/1857-24/06/1921), of Manchester, offered to provide a challenge trophy of the value of 20 guineas for competition between teams representing the counties in the Union. The trophy was made by Fattorini & Sons of Bradford. It was first contested in the 1900-01 season.
