** Note, the live score system is new, maybe some technical glitches during the weekend **
The Mortlock Shield website continues to grow, with the launch of a new Match Centre designed to bring supporters closer to the action across the carnival.
The new Match Centre gives fans one central place to follow fixtures, live scoring, team sheets, match details, results, player information and historical matchups. Whether you are at the oval, following from home, or checking back after the final siren, the Match Centre makes it easier to stay connected throughout the championships.
Live scoring across the carnival
One of the biggest additions is live scoring, allowing supporters to follow matches as they unfold. Scores can be updated during each game, giving fans a clearer view of how each contest is progressing.
Alongside the scoreboard, the Match Centre can display quarter-by-quarter scores, final results and match summaries, helping supporters quickly understand how the game was won.
Score Worm
The new Score Worm feature adds another level to the match-day experience.
Rather than only seeing the final score, supporters can view the flow of the game and see when momentum changed. It helps tell the story of each match, showing scoring runs, close periods and key moments across the contest.
Team sheets, best players and goal kickers
Each match can include detailed team information, including:
Team Sheets
Supporters can view selected players for each league, making it easier to follow who is playing in each match.
Goal Kickers
Goal scorers can be recorded and displayed for each game, helping highlight the players who made an impact on the scoreboard.
Best Players
The Match Centre can also show the best players from each match, giving recognition to those who stood out across the contest.
These additions help create a more complete record of every game, not just the final score.
Head-to-head history
A new Head to Head section adds history and context to upcoming fixtures.
Supporters can view recent meetings between leagues, including previous scores and results. This gives each game more background, helping fans see past form, recent rivalries and how teams have matched up in previous years.
Umpires for each game
The Match Centre can also include the appointed umpires for each match, making the match information more complete for players, officials, supporters and administrators.
This helps bring all key game details together in one location.
A better way to follow the Mortlock Shield
The new Match Centre is part of the continued development of the Mortlock Shield website, giving the carnival a stronger online home for fixtures, results, history and live match information.
With live scoring, score worm, team sheets, best players, goal kickers, head-to-head results and umpire details, supporters now have more ways than ever to follow the action.
