A specific HMS Conway tug-of-war medal from 1909 cannot be directly identified from the provided search results, though a similar medal was awarded to a Cadet W. Howard in 1920 for training proficiency, not for tug-of-war. You can find more information by searching the Royal Museums Greenwich collection for medals awarded to HMS Conway, using their online search or contacting them directly. Additionally, the Ancestry website may have records for medals awarded before 1914, though this requires a paid subscription.

HMS Conway was a naval training school or "school ship", founded in 1859 and housed for most of her life aboard a 19th-century wooden ship of the line. The ship was originally stationed on the Mersey near Liverpool, then moved to the Menai Strait during World War II. While being towed back to Birkenhead for a refit in 1953, she ran aground and was wrecked and later burned.
