The Niall MacKenzie trophy was the spirit prize last time Wolverhampton
Indoors was held (97). It was shared by Sneeekys and Flying Lims, and as
far as I'm aware it's sitting on someone's (Possum?) mantlepiece in
Edinburgh, where it's been for the last 4 years at least. I was not aware
that this trophy was ever awarded for spirit at Nationals... but if it had
been it'd be in Edinburgh since Sneeekys won spirit.

I never knew Niall, but I share your sentiment that it is very important
that he is not forgotten.
