I *ahem* remember something cricket being called the Plunket Shield. (But despite popular ranting about this place Im NOT actually significantly older than you cunts ok)

SO

Im thinking I remember the name "Plunket Shield" either b/c I used to be a cricket almanac whore when I was a cricket nutz 8-12 year old, so it WAS called that in the early 70's-w/e ....or possible the wimmins 1st class comp was called that at some stage

The Plunket Shield has been a huge part of the New Zealand cricket landscape since its inception in 1906 and has been residing in the New Zealand Cricket Museum at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

The last time the Shield was competed for in first-class competition was during the 1974/75 season, when Otago were the victors. It was was replaced by the Shell Trophy from 1974/75 and then the State Championship in 2001/02 .

In 1981/82 and 1994/95 the Plunket Shield was played for in a one-day format between North and South Island teams. The northern team won it both times.

I think it might be this actually. I too was a cricket almanac whore when I was a kid.

Weird.
