Three years later, another farming couple, Bruce and Pat Chrystall from Springhill, added a second competition named the 'Chrystall Bowls', to be played in conjunction with the Carberry Trays. The prizes for this Stableford competition, in an acknowledgement of the sponsor's surname, were crystal bowls - or, in more recent years, crystal glasses.
