Introduction
The Hurley Shield was originally the Canterbury FA's top division trophy. In the 1980s, after the Southern League was introduced in 1968, the Shield was awarded to the winner of a Canterbury FA pre-season tournament. From 1999 to 2000 it was the trophy awarded to the winners of the Canterbury Premier League. In 2007, the Shield was reformed as a challenge trophy, similar to rugby's Ranfurly Shield.
Rangers were Hurley Shield (Pre-Season) Winners in 1991.
Note: all results have Rangers' score first.
