Teams from Bendigo, Bacchus Marsh and Horsham travelled to Horsham Basketball Stadium on Sunday to compete in the second annual Gary Bird Shield, an all-abilities basketball tournament.

Run by Rebecca McIntyre, the tournament honours her father, Gary Bird, a former Horsham mayor who consistently worked to provide greater inclusion for people with disabilities.
The day was focused on participation and allowing all basketballers a chance to thrive on the court, with participants playing numerous games throughout the day.
The day concluded with a grand final between Horsham and Bacchus Marsh, with Bacchus Marsh repeating their success from last year to take home the Gary Bird Shield.
