ABC TV ENDS 57 YEAR ASSOCIATION WITH THE SHUTE SHIELD Due to recent cutbacks in funding, the SRU has today received advice from the Head of Sports and Events ABC Television Mr Justin Holdforth; “The ABC TV will no longer provide coverage of the Sydney Rugby Union’s Shute Shield competition” Bruce Worboys from NSWRU This is the end of a 57 year relationship and I must say how disappointed I am to see the only Free to Air live Rugby on television allowed to disappear. As you know NSWRU and SRU met with high ranking government officials with Clubs also making representation to local politicians all to no avail – it came down to dollars in the end. The SRU have had discussions with a number of alternate broadcasters and will now be able to go to the market to see what real interest there may be.
