The Bungendore Tigers have been declared minor premiers after Rule 45 has been enacted.
After the Boorowa Rovers victory over the Crookwell Green Devils saw them join the Tigers on 20 competition points and a points differential of 310, Rule 45 has been enacted to find the 2025 George Tooke Shield minor premiers.
Rule 45 states the following, If two or more teams are equal in competition points and equal in the difference between points scored for and against then the following formula will be used to separate the teams.
a) greater percentage of points scored for and against, determined by the following formula: (points scored x 100) / points conceded x 1).
b) most tries scored; if still equal
c) most goals kicked; if still equal
d) most field goals kicked; if still equal
e) a toss of a coin in the case of two teams; or some other method determined by the Member group
Application of Formula
Bungendore - 480 x 100 = 48,000
48,000/170 = 282.35
Boorowa - 522 x 100 = 52,200
52,200/212 = 246.22
Therefore, the Bungendore Tigers are the 2025 minor premiers in the Blumers Lawyers George Tooke Shield, earning the week off, while the Boorowa Rovers face the Crookwell Green Devils in the Qualifying Final.

Boorowa Rovers have congratulated Alex Stewart on reaching 150 senior games.
Alex made his debut for the Yanco Hawks in 2011 against West Wyalong.
He went on to play for the Bidgee Hurricanes for two years, winning the 18s competition while also stepping up into seniors. In 2014, Alex joined Harden and featured in the grand final against Binalong coming away second best.
In 2016 he moved to Moruya, where the team went through the season undefeated to claim a premiership.
His journey then brought him back to Boorowa, where he achieved a career highlight as captain coach, leading the Rovers to a drought-breaking premiership in 2023.
Alex wishes to thank every club he has been part of along the way.
Rugby League has been a great ride, and he hopes country footy never dies.
With plenty of passion still for the game, he looks forward to a few more years yet!
