A circular wooden shield with a circular metal embossed plaque of women playing hockey in the centre. The centre plaque is a picture of a women's hockey game in progress, there are five players with a club house and thick vegetation in the background, and surrounding this scene is a metal wreath. There are seven smaller circular metal plaques fixed individually to the wooden board and are spaced evenly around the centre plaque. Six of the smaller plaques are engraved with details of tournaments played at Katanning 1924,1928; Wagin 1925,1929; Albany 1927 and Narrogin 1926 and the victors - all won by Katanning. The seventh plaque is blank. The shield is self standing by way of a hinged prop screwed into the shield on the back. The centre plaque is fixed to the shield by way of four thumb screws also on the back.
