All proceeds will go toward a worthy cause in juvenile diabetes.

Traditional rivals Shellharbour and Warilla have contested the Jarrod Morgan Shield for more than 10 years.

The match is played in memory of a player who starred for both clubs before passing away at a young age.

Since Shellharbour's move from Group Seven into the Illawarra League the game has been revitalised as a preseason charity match.

Last year, Warilla raised a considerable amount for the Heart Foundation.

This year Shellharbour will host the day with funds raised going to little-known Juvenile Diabetes.

Type one diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, it occurs more frequently than cancer, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy.

Most newly diagnosed cases are in people less than 15 years old.

Approximately 1825 Australians are diagnosed with type one diabetes every year and the incidence is increasing at an alarming 3.2 per cent a year.

In Australia, about 95 per cent of the diabetes found in children is type one diabetes.

The goal of type one diabetes management is to keep blood glucose levels as close to the normal range as possible.

It sounds easy, but in reality, this is difficult to achieve.

Gates open at 1pm with under 18s at 2pm, second grade 3.30pm and the main game at 5pm.

Entry is $5 and $2 concession.

An after-match function will be held at Shellharbour Workers Club auditorium from 7pm with a jumper auction/raffle.

The NRL Charity Shield game between the St George Illawarra Dragons and South Sydney Rabbitohs will be shown live on the big screen. Finger food will be provided for a gold coin donation.
