GWYNNE SHIELD HISTORY

Gwynne Shield Rugby is a prestigious tournament that is run by the Waikato Primary School’s Rugby Committee. This tournament has a lot of history as it started way back in 1921. This tournament is for young boys and girls who are 57kgs and under, who are Year 8 or below. Normally the players come from the intermediate school level, however, you do have the odd Year 6 who is an exceptional player that does get selected. This is a school-based tournament which means you must trial for the team in the area in which you go to school. The other difference is, you don’t have to play rugby to be eligible but you still must trial to enable selection. All players who play in this tournament have the opportunity to be selected for the Waikato Roller Mills. Our WCJR Board has five teams that participate in the Gwynne Shield Tournament.
