Trevor Campbell Trophy

Trevor Campbell was honoured in 1994 when the pavilion at The Willows was named for him – the first act following the ground’s creation. Trevor visited the ground that year, and his son, Dr John Campbell, became a foundation playing member.

Trevor was the driving force behind the London New Zealand Cricket Club (LNZCC), founded in December 1951 while he served as Public Relations Officer at the NZ High Commission on The Strand. His vision was to create a London-based club for New Zealanders – a touring side playing in beautiful rural settings, offering cricket and camaraderie to those on their overseas experience.

Many Willowers have since enjoyed playing for LNZCC, sharing in Trevor’s enduring legacy. Fittingly, The Willows plays an annual fixture against LNZCC for the Trevor Campbell Trophy – honouring his contribution to New Zealand cricket abroad.
