2013 Carr Shield Results

The Carr Shield is competed for annually between the Wanganui Harriers and Hutt Valley Harriers as part of the Dorne Cup races.

The Shield was presented to both Harrier clubs by W.J. Carr to promote friendship and competition between our two clubs. The first competition for the Carr Shield was in 1946, won by Wanganui Harriers.

The Carr Shield “disappeared” after the 1983 competition, which was won by Hutt Valley Harriers and not competed for again until 2008 when the shield “reappeared”.   Prior to the 2013 competition Wanganui Harriers have won the Shield 23 times since 1946 and Hutt Valley Harriers have won it 19 times.

The Shield is competed on a one-for-one basis.  This means each club matches the number of runners in each grade of the Dorne Cup for which they have competitors and points are allocated based on the position each runner finishes in their grade (ie 1 point if first, 2 points if second, etc ).  The total points are summed up across all grades for which both clubs have competitors and the winning club is the club with the smallest number of total points.
