The Grace Martin Trophy is the perpetual trophy awarded to the Champions of our highest division of senior women.
Mrs Grace Martin's place in the history of Football Canterbury is undeniable - Grace is a Life Member of the CDSFA - having served as the Association's Registrar, Competition Secretary, and Chairwoman of the Judiciary Committee for decades, amongst many other duties at Association and Club level for Roselands FC.
Such service earned her a Football NSW State Award in 1992. Grace has been instrumental in the creation, development and fostering of female participation in football throughout Football Canterbury.
It is with distinction that Football Canterbury’s highest level of open women's football competition is named after a woman that has given so much to the sport she loves: the Grand Lady herself, Grace Martin.
