Strange trophies for Ruslan.

Could not resist another Wryton Special.

For anyone of a certain age, the name "Double Diamond" immediately brings to mind the TV advert with the famous catchphrase "I'm only here for the beer", and famous jingle, "Double Diamond works wonders, so drink one today"

Gentlemen, this is The Wryton Trophy, they all looked very similar. I mean Ricardo v Stewart.

Here are some wrestlers drinking Double Diamond (1957 Isle of man)

As Ruslan mentioned, the other photo is the final of the 1962-63 ACES Trophy from Altrincham.

This is a programme from an earlier round of the tournament. Good photos Bernard, thanks for sharing them!

Here is a handbill for the Double Diamond Trophy of 1963.

Thanks for the info Hack, appreciate. I've never heard of those trophies. It's something new to me. Always ready to learn more about titles and trophies.

The Colbeck trophy is from Croydon, 27th August, 1963.

Competitors Eddie Capelli/LindeCaulder/Alan Colbeck/Jack Dempsey/John Foley/Ted Hannon/Peter Rann/Pasquale Salvo.

I don't know the results other than Colbeck, Foley, Dempsey and Caulder were in the semi Finals and Colbeck beat Foley in the final. The trophy was called the "Double Diamond Trophy" (that was a beer Ruslan) and donated by Ind Coope Brewery.

There was another knock out the following year on 15th September, 1964

Thanks for posting Bernard, appreciate. Ricardo and Stewart photo is a Wryton Trophy at Altrincham. I recognized it.

You will be getting Ruslan all excited Bernard. Goodness knows what you may have started with this.
