A presentation cup has come into my possession with the title above inscribed on it. It was presented a Mr.C.Rodway in the 1921 season. it was presented for "The Best All Round Player"
Has anyone have any information on this club as I have searched the web and can find no mention of it.
 
No mention in the newspaper archives of the Cricket club, but it seems to be a general club , and the cup would be for their cricket team
For source and date hover over the the relevant cutting

In August 1921 Old Edgbaston Unity played Erdington and made 33. Rodway opened the batting and scored 3.

In the Erdington innings Rodway took the first 4 wickets and therefore looks to be a pretty good allrounder !
