The shield was a trophy donated by Mr Claude Sarre to the then Amateur Cycling Union of South Australia (ACUSA) in 1949 for “Interclub Competition”., and is now presented each year to the winning club at the Cycling SA Annual General Meeting. Mr Sarre was a jeweller in Gawler Place. Points towards the Sarre Shield are earned by riders who represent their club at State Championship events. Points are allocated for medal placings only in every individual championship event (both road and track), in every license category both mens’ and womens’ right through from Junior U11 to Masters Category 9.
