My understanding of the Rees Shield rules is that the team holding the shield must put the shield on the line during one of their qualification races at the NZ Stockcar Teams Championship.
That being the case Wanganui will have the choice of defending the shield against either the Baypark Bulldogs or the Wellington Young Guns. Neither team has challenged for the Rees Shield in it's history.
Does anyone know who the shield will be defended against? You'd think they would choose the Bulldogs as the weaker team on paper but I have heard the Young Guns asked to challenge for the shield soon after Wanganui claimed it so perhaps they will be first in the queue?
For those interested in the history of the Rees Shield I have documented it over at Percy's NZ Speedway speedwaynz.awardspace.com/reesshield.html
