With Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round being celebrated by the AFL this weekend, AFL Sydney club, the Balmain Tigers will be honouring the first Australian’s with their own acknowledgment of Indigenous Round.
The winner of their Division One match with Camden will be the first club engraved on the ‘Pemulwuy Shield’ – an award named by Balmain in honour of the great Sydney Indigenous warrior, Pemulwuy.
Balmain’s Senior Coach, Daniel Bourke says that in naming their Indigenous Round shield in the name of Pemulwuy, the club is hoping to raise awareness of who he was to Australia.
“[Pemulwuy was] a proud warrior who fought for over 10 years to protect his family, friends, and land from invasion and genocide,’ explains Bourke.
“[The Pemulwuy Shield] is a hand-crafted piece that has been painted by our own Jeffrey Morgan.”
Not only will the two clubs play off for the inaugural Pemulway Shield, it was announced back in March that Balmain will also wear an Indigenous Guernsey in the same tradition of the AFL’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
Designed by Inner-West Indigenous artist, Peta-Joy Williams, the image was specifically created for the Balmain club. The design crafted by the Wiradjuri artist is said to tell the story of travellers, with the circles lining the famous Tiger’s golden sash, representing the differences each person brings to life with their own histories.
A traditional Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony will be performed between the two Balmain matches set for Mahoney Oval, which will be conducted by Les De Jong and Donna Ingram (pictured above).
Rounding out the Division Three match, Balmain have also invited ‘Budawangman and the Yarma Boys’ to add further atmosphere through traditional song and dance.
