The Hebberley Shield is a trophy awarded to the winning boat of 8 in the men's rowing competition at the annual New Zealand University games. The award dates back to 1928.
The shield was carved by Thomas Henry Heberley of the Dominion Museum, who was also commissioned to carve the Jackie Ruru Shield of Wellington Rugby fame.
Famous quotes containing the word shield:
“The lichen on the rocks is a rude and simple shield which beginning and imperfect Nature suspended there. Still hangs her wrinkled trophy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
