The trophy was won by the Great Britain women's team on their pioneering tour of Australia in 1996.

Ms Lee added that she hoped the shield could be found."Someone has it somewhere. I hope nobody has got rid of it. It's such a big trophy."

Joanna Carr-Will, who was a member of the Great Britain squad which went on tour Down Under in 1996, said she certainly remembered what it looked like.Image source,The 1996 team was caught on camera celebrating with the shield after the win Down Under "I'm sure there are people who have gone up into the loft and just double-checked they've not taken it home," Ms Carr-Will added."It's got a big banner across it that says 'the Ashes series', so if they find it, they will know."

The Life with the Lionesses exhibition, which sparked the search for the shield, made its debut at the York Festival of Ideas earlier this month. It will soon go on display in the Houses of Parliament before going on tour to towns and cities with strong connections to rugby league, including Leeds, Batley, Hull, Huddersfield, St Helens and Warrington.
