This was the first major cup given to the league in May 1913 and was the trophy  for Cheltenham Air Rifle League. The air rifle clubs used the skittle alleys

but it appears that the increase of skittles teams using the alleys the air rifle clubs declined. The trophy was valued at 25 guineas at that time. Sadly the trophy

was only presented to one team, the Royal Oak before the outbreak of the First world war.
