We’re now just five Saturday’s away from the opening round of the 2023 Shute Shield season and we thought we’d take a look at where each team is heading over the opening month.

To get a better look at each side’s start to the season, we’ve ranked all club’s based on their final position in 2022, with Sydney Uni ranked 1 and Southern Districts ranked 12.

The team with the lowest total score, has the hardest start to the season based on last year’s results.

While this doesn’t take into account home and away matches or 2023 form, it does give a decent indication of how important the opening rounds will be for each side.

Rankings:

1) Sydney Uni

2) Gordon

3*) Eastwood

3*) Northern Suburbs
