The AW Green Shield competition is the premier Under-16 competition in Australia and an excellent transition for juniors into grade cricket. We place great emphasis on helping Green Shield players graduate into grade cricket, with over half of the club’s current senior players commencing at ‘Greenies’ level. The ‘journey’ is exemplified by three young men who played Green Shield in 2019/20 who are currently representing the Stags in First Grade.
Our Green Shield team has been coached by Nick Miller and Matt Wright for the past 3 seasons. Nick has a great deal of coaching experience, including a few seasons as Assistant Coach for the club. Matt Wright is a regular First Grade player. The team has qualified for the semi-finals in each season under their leadership.
