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 to 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 during the current season by former Australian fast bowler and Gordon legend Matt Nicholson, along with Connor Hindmarch, a fine young coach who has achieved great success in junior representative cricket.
