It’s a great result when both league teams travel away and record wins, it's even sweeter when both sides don't concede a point in the process.

The league tag table now sees:

With just seven more rounds left, both Boorowa teams are in a good position to push their claims for a finals birth. With the bye this weekend and a certain two points, both teams have six matches left, four of which are at home which will be a massive boost.
The next game is at home on Saturday week against Harden which should see a massive crowd on hand. All four teams are in semi final contention. So local supporters can rest up with the bye and watch a full round of NRL stars for a change this weekend and then head to the Showground the following Saturday.
This week’s matches see ADFA host Binalong, North Canberra at home against Gunning, Boomanulla hosting Crookwell and Bungendore at home against UC Grizzlies. Harden have the bye along with Boorowa.
