Anna and Bill Hooper gave the Kinnersley Cup to the club in memory of their son, Alistair. A club member of great courage and ability Alistair Hooper was killed in a cycling accident in Kempsey in March 1992.

The family lived in Kinnersley close to the start of one of the club time-trial courses. It seemed appropriate to remember Alistair in this way as he won the inaugural event on the course.

Alistair lost the use of an arm in a motor-cycle accident but despite having to ride with one hand attached to the handle-bars of his bike with velcro, he was an outstanding cyclist. He won sixteen club events in 1991 and his was the first name inscribed on the D & G Hughes trophy with a winning time of 35.53.

He won a number of open time-trials and at the time of his death he was leading the season long divisional series for sporting courses.
