Who are the Raths?

Neville and Yvonne Rath were the founders of the South Ringwood Cricket Club in the 1970s.  They were also our very first Life Members, with Neville granted life membership in 1978 and Yvonne in 1979.  This was the same year in which the Rath Shield was created.

What is this awarded for?

The Rath Shield is awarded to the player(s) that accumulate the most points based on runs, wickets, catches & run outs over the course of the season. This award can be won by any club member irrespective of which grade they play.
