President’s Shield

20th-22nd July 2021

Established in 1974, the President’s Junior Interstate Shield determines annually the best state/territory/zone representative teams of junior male and female bowlers.

For the first time in the event history, the 2021 President’s Shield format will utilise the international team event format. The structure will see teams bowl three events (singles, doubles, teams) over three separate days awarding medals to the top three placegetters in each event.

Individual performances throughout the three events will award points after each of the division’s events. At the conclusion of the three-day event, three champion teams will be crowned for the male division, female division, and combined division.

For the first time since 1990, Moonah, Tasmania, will host this year’s President’s Shield event with Zone Bowling Moonah, the host venue of the 2021 Australian National Championship.

We wish all bowlers the best of luck and high scoring for the event!
