The 2023 Bill Jacob Shield will be held on Sunday 8th January 2023 at Woden Park.  The first event will commence at 1:00pm with venue entry from 12:15pm. This event is for 9 years and older, from both LAACT & LANSW.

 

As part of the 'Bill Jacob Shield', this meet includes events for 9 year old and older Little Athletes, including a number who will be visiting the ACT from the Riverina (LANSW) area and we extend a warm welcome to those athletes and their supporters. The shield will be contested by the ACT and Riverina and will be awarded by an accumulation of points in each age group, for each event, by each gender. 

Bill was a Riverina athletics institution and there isn’t a child in Wagga that has done athletics over the last 40 years that doesn’t have a connection with Bill. His legacy extends to the ACT where he has a number of relationships within the Paralympic and ACT athletics community. Bill was also a passionate supporter of the ACT Brumbies.
