The Diggers’ Shield
ArcHSoc VS FUPS
What is the “Diggers’ Shield”?
Years ago, there was a cricket match between members of the Flinders University Archaeology and History Society and the Flinders University Palaeontology Society. Eventually this match was named the “Diggers’ Shield” and became a regular event involving both clubs. Alongside the committee from FUPS, we’re bringing it back!
