Basically it's the club of the year trophy, as modeled by President Tania Griffin and alumni of AUBC and coach, Gary Bain:
Stephanie McDowall won the Sandy Morrison Memorial Trophy for performing at an 'exceptionally high level' at her chosen sport and Jenny Chambers received her Blue for winning at International level for the Univeristy at the European Rowing Champs in Poland.
