Trophies Awarded

The BDA runs the BDA National League and the BDA National Championships. For more information on these competitions please refer to the Racing section of the website.
Clubs that compete in the two competions have the chance to compete for a number of different Trophies over these two Competitions each year.
The Trophies are awarded at the end of the National Championships and cover the National Championships, The National League (including the Racing Leagues and the Club Leagues) as well as trophies presented for other achievements.
Not all trophies are awarded each year, and new trophies have been introduced over the years as well. The trophies and the clubs that they were awarded to in 2019 are here.
