Queensland Heat finished third in both the Gilley’s Shield and Edebone-Weber Shield last season, and this year are seeking their first national title since the 2008/2009 season.
All players have added incentive to present their best form in the current tournament ahead of selections to be made for next year’s Women’s World Softball Championship in Canada.
The Gilley’s Shield, Australia’s premier open women’s softball tournament, is played over four rounds and four months in four different states.
The winning team of trans-Tasman Edebone-Weber Shield is determined following the completion of three of those rounds, after which the New Zealand White Sox then return home.
The Gilley’s Shield Finals Series is contested by Australian state teams only.
Round four and the Finals Series of the 2011/2012 Gilley’s Shield will be played in Sydney in February.
