David Setters Trophy 2021 to support MND research

Some of the City's best and worst cricketers will contest on Friday the David Setters Trophy, the annual charity cricket tournament which raises vital funds for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.

The David Setters Trophy, marking its fourth year in 2021, will take place on Friday June 25 at the spectacular HAC Cricket Ground, off City Road, near Finsbury Square in the heart of the City of London.

The event, which began in 2017 and skipped last year due to the pandemic, has so far raised over £100,000 for the MND Association, including over £25,000 in 2019.

This year's tournament includes teams from Euronext, broker StoneX and the London Metal Exchange, all of which have put out strong teams in previous years, while Intercontinental Exchange and Iron Mountain Data Centers will make their first appearances.

The trophy is named after David Setters, the popular derivatives expert who has in recent years dedicated himself to raising money to fund research into MND after discovering he has the disease.

Dave has been tireless in raising awareness about MND and in supporting efforts that lead to a cure and better care for people living with MND. He established City Against MND and works closely with the MND Association. Dave is also a Founding Trustee of Futures for Kids, the industry's charity.

Dave’s entire career has been spent in the City where he has been a long time champion of the Futures & Options markets. He is passionate about sport playing rugby at school and University before playing football for Old Reigatians AFC until his early 50s. His other passion, aside from Manchester United, is cricket.

Spectators are welcome to come down and enjoy the cricket on Friday while lunch and drinks will be made available.
