Brief history

Named after William Tennant Mortlock, the Mortlock Shield began in 1936 when the football associations of Central Eyre, Cleve, Eastern Eyre, Great Flinders and Port Lincoln banded together to form a carnival for the best players in their respective leagues to compete in. Since 1994 The best players from the carnival are selected to play for Eyre Peninsula in the SA Country Football Championship.

Format

The current format of the Mortlock Shield consists of a league composed of 5 representative sides of football leagues from around the Eyre Peninsula. The carnival is held over two days on the Queens Birthday long weekend (Saturday and Monday) where the teams play in a single round robin. Each game is made of two halves of 20 minutes plus time on, if a game ends in a draw two halves of 5 minute extra time will be played. If teams are still tied golden goal will be applied. The top two teams on the ladder after four games play in the grand final, where the winner is awarded the perpetual Mortlock Shield to commemorate their win.
