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!

THIS OCTOBER
The Official Date is still being determined, pending approval of match location. For now, we’re hoping to have it Sunday 26 October 2025.

We would like to thank FUPS as well for their dedication to making this event happen. Both ourselves and FUPS are working hard to make this a fantastic event for our members and fundraise for the two clubs. Please check out their pages or reach out to them for more info on their club and events!
