Western Suburbs has always had an uneasy relationship with Grade cricket's other junior competition, the Poidevin-Gray Shield. Established in 1926-27 for players under the age of 21, this competition was originally intended as a means of feeding cricketers from junior associations into Grade clubs. At that time, few Grade clubs were able to fill an under-21 team from the ranks of their own members, but that position changed over the years, and so did the character of the competition. It is now a unique opportunity for players from different grades to play together, so that a typical Poidevin-Gray team will include cricketers who play in every Grade from Firsts to Fifths.
