Burns Shield Champions
The Burns Memorial Shield was originally subscribed for by the North Otago Rugby Sub-Union and Affiliated Clubs, and presented to the Sub-Union in 1924 for competition amongst Junior teams. This Shield commemorates the services rendered to Rugby Football in North Otago by Mr J.S.Burns, an ex-President of the Sub-Union. Traditionally, the Burns Shield has been awarded to the Champions of North Otago’s second tier senior men’s club competition, formerly Senior B grade and currently Presidents Grade.
