Slater Cup

The Slater Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the rugby match between Gloucester Rugby and Leicester Tigers twice every season in Premiership Rugby, it is named after the former captain of both clubs Ed Slater. The inaugural edition was played in the 2022–23 season and was won by Leicester Tigers. The trophy extends to Premiership Women's Rugby, featuring Gloucester-Hartpury and Leicester Tigers Women. The inaugural women's edition was played in the 2023–24 season.[1][2]

History

In November 2022, Gloucester Rugby and Leicester Tigers announced that they would compete for a trophy named after Ed Slater. Slater played for and captained both clubs but was forced to retire in July 2022 after a diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease.[3]

In February 2023, Gloucester Rugby announced that for the first Slater Cup game played at Kingsholm that they would play in a limited edition Slater Cup shirt.[4] The shirt was designed by Ed and his family. The club also announced that £10 from every shirt sold would go directly to the family to aid Ed's treatment and help fund adaptations to his home, while also providing valuable financial support to his young family. The shirt was also designed to raise awareness of MND.[5]

The third men's edition and the first women's edition of the Slater Cup, played at Kingsholm on 25 November 2023, was a double-header featuring the men's game first followed by the inaugural women's Slater cup, a Premiership Women's Rugby game between Gloucester-Hartpury and Leicester Tigers Women.[6][2][1] Both Gloucester teams wore the limited edition Slater Cup shirt that was designed by Ed and his family.[6]
