Good friends we have.
Good friends we have lost, along the way.
In this great future you can't forget your past.
So dry your tears, I say.
- B. Marley

The Cup and The Plate
In 2007, the Crab lost two of it's finest friends. We miss them. Our championship trophies are named for Will and Lu.
The Caldwell Cup: Will Caldwell
Will Caldwell only played in one Hairy Crab and damn if he didn't win it. Tragically, Will passed away before he was able to defend.
The Caldwell Cup is awarded to our Crab/Shrimp Champions.
The Leahy Plate: Paul "Lu" Leahy
Long time friend of the Crab, Paul "Lu" Leahy never missed a Crab. The original Barnacle, Lu never hit a shot but he certainly consumed a few.
The Leahy Plate is awarded to our Clam Champion.
