The inter club Challenge began in 1997 as an annual event in which the two clubs competed against each other for the Challenge Trophy. The event was held at Illawarra for the first three years and then transferred to Calderwood Valley. Pairs from each club compete against each other with the previous year s losers picking the type of game. Miranda GC has now won 11 "Challenges" and the Hackers have won 6.
