Welcome to you all, players, coaches and management, supporters and whanau to the 2019 Ellis Shield
Invitational Junior Rugby Tournament.

The Ellis Shield Rugby Tournament is an annual Junior Rugby tournament run by the three Bay of Plenty
Rugby Junior Rugby Committees. The tournament originally involved Eastern, Central and Western Bay
Under-11, Under-12 and Under-13 representative teams compete for age grade trophies and the Ellis
Shield. However, since 2018, the tournament has comprised Eastern and Central vying for the Ellis
Shield and an invitational sub-union to contest the tournament.

The age grade winners will win trophies including the Liam Messam Trophy (U13), Tanerau Latimer
Trophy (U12) and the Rob Shaw Trophy (U11) – named after those who have made a great contribution
to rugby in the Bay of Plenty. The region that wins the most games across three grades wins the Ellis
Shield.

Eastern Bay of Plenty Junior Rugby teams made history in 2014 by being crowned the Ellis Shield
Champions for the first time ever in the 22 years that the competition has been played.

This year Eastern has pleasure in welcoming Thames Valley Under-11s and Under-13s to compete in the
tri-way tournament being held at Rugby Park in Whakatane.

The tournament is about getting our best junior players from each of our sub-regions, in the older age
groups, to play and be competitive at a representative level, and to experience the tournament and its
history. It’s a great opportunity for them to really test their abilities, raise it to another level, and it's also
a time where the younger players can watch their tuakana and aspire to play at that representative level
one day as well. We trust you all enjoy the 2019 Ellis Shield Invitational Tournament.
