Previous Season Notes

[edit | edit source]

Eleven teams competed in the 2021 Sydney Shield. The season commenced on March 14, 2021. The last round was scheduled for August 22, 2021, with a final series to follow. The season was, however, suspended due to lockdown measures taken to combat the spread of the delta variant of the COVID-19 pandemic in New South Wales.

The eleven teams were: File:Catalanscolours.svg Belrose Eagles (2013-21), File:New South Wales colours.svg Cabramatta Two Blues (2020-21), File:Western Suburbs colours.svg Cronulla-Caringbah Sharks (2020-21), File:Wigancolours.svg East Campbelltown Eagles (2014-21), File:Brisbane colours.svg Hills District Bulls (2013-21), File:Canterbury colours.svg Moorebank Rams, File:Brothers Colours.svg Penrith Brothers, File:Illawarra colours.svg Ryde-Eastwood Hawks, File:Ireland colours.svg St Marys Saints, File:Hullcolours.svg Wentworthville Magpies, and File:Australian colours.svg Windsor Wolves (2015-16, 2020-21)

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia the Sydney Shield competition was postponed after the first round on March 14 & 15.[15] The competition was subsequently reconfigured. Nominations from the following clubs were accepted.[16] Results from the matches in March were disregarded as the competition restarted on July 18.

The teams that contested the revised competition were: File:Catalanscolours.svg Belrose Eagles, File:Western Suburbs colours.svg Cronulla-Caringbah Sharks (Premiers), File:Wigancolours.svg East Campbelltown Eagles, File:Balmain colours.svg Helensburgh Tigers, File:Bullscolours.svg Hills District Bulls, File:Canterbury colours.svg Moorebank Rams, File:St. George colours.svg Ryde-Eastwood Hawks, File:University colours.svg Sydney University and File:Hullcolours.svg Wentworthville Magpies.

Cronulla-Caringbah and Helensburgh were not in the first version of the 2020 Sydney Shield. The following teams had competed in the single, first round in March.

In 2019, twelve clubs fielded teams in the Sydney Shield:[17]

Three clubs that competed in the 2016 season did not enter teams in 2017: The Auburn Warriors, Peninsula Seagulls and Windsor Wolves. For the first time, the Moorebank Rams Rugby League club entered a team in the Sydney Shield. In 2018, Brothers Penrith were introduced into the Sydney Shield competition. In 2019, former New South Wales Rugby League premiership side University entered the Sydney Shield.[18]

The competition began on the weekend on March 4 & 5, 2017. The regular season concluded with Round 25 on the weekend of August 25, 26 & 27 (Friday to Sunday). A four-week finals series followed in September 2017.
