About the trophies
The L.A. Brooks Trophy was first contested in 1952 then reinstated six years ago after a 39 year hiatus from 1966 - 2005. The fixture arose because the universities were New Zealand's original agricultural colleges. To be eligible to play in the match you must be an agriculture student.
The MOG Shield is a wooden trophy and bares a striking resemblance to a toilet seat.
