  • Melbourne Vs Richmond
    VICTORIA V DECEMBER 6-9, 2015 SOUTH AUSTRALIA FACT SHEET SHEFFIELD SHIELD LIBRARY Between the teams – Victoria v South Australia The rivalry between the teams dates back to November 1874 when 18 of South Australia took on 11 of Victoria at the Adelaide Oval, the visitors winning a low-scoring contest by 14 runs. The inaugural first-class match between Victoria and SA took place at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground in November 1880 when the home side won by seven wickets. Prior to the introduction of the Sheffield Shield competition in 1892/93, the colonies had met 13 times in 11-a-side contests, Victoria winning seven matches and SA six. The first Shield game between the teams was played at the MCG from December 31, 1892 to January 4, 1893, Victoria winning by six wickets. Victoria also won the return match at Adelaide to go through the inaugural Shield season undefeated and thus become the first winners of the competition. South Australia gained their revenge next season, however, winning both its matches against Victoria to enable it to annex the Shield for the first time. Curiously, the other original Shield team, New South Wales, which came to dominate the competition for many years, did not win it for the first time until 1895/96. Records between the states Of the 227 Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup contests between the teams to date, Victoria has won 116 games to South Australia’s 53, with the remaining 58 drawn. Victoria’s superiority is even more marked at the MCG, where the home side has won 62 of the 103 matches played and SA only 15.
