Ken Block Trophy

The Ken Block Trophy was inaugurated in 2010 in memory of Superstars legend Ken Block. It is contested each year with a best of 3 matches (2 Twenty20 and 1 full game) between rival teams Dodgers and Superstars. The trophy has changed hands on numerous occasions, but Dodgers have done remarkably well in recent years:

2024 - rain washed out the first game of the year, but Dodgers won the two remaining, as here and here

2023 - Dodgers retain the trophy once again with a clean sweep of three victories: here, here and here

2022 - Dodgers retain the trophy by virtue of having won one and lost one of the two games played during the season

2021 - an extraordinary year in that both our first two matches ended in ties, but Dodgers won the decider in an exciting August showdown by 28 runs

2020 - in a reduced season due to the coronavirus, we managed only one full game against Superstars, and they won it, thus regaining the trophy

2019 - read the report of the decider, complete with photographic record, here.

2018 - see the victorious Dodgers team on Twitter here.

2017 - see the state of the Superstars scoreboard on Twitter here, and marvel at the spectacular Dodgers victory!

2016 - a very close decider, squeaked out by Dodgers in the final over.

2015 - not a good year, given that three attempts to play had to be cancelled and Superstars won the only game that actually went ahead...

2014 - Dodgers claimed the trophy with a 3-0 win, and here is the blow-by-blow account:

Match1: 17.07.14, Chiswick, 20 overs (25 retirement, 2 runs for a wide/no ball and no extra ball except last over)
