Local rugby leagues finest gathered at the Annual McIntyre Medal Presentation held by Canberra Rugby League. Boorowa was well represented at the awards, and they didn’t leave without some silverware to take home.
Rovers Captain Coach Cooper Cross and Crookwell’s Jayden Eddy shared the Best and Fairest award for the George Tooke Shield. Both these players were outstanding for their respective clubs.
For the Rovers, Cooper led by example on the field getting his team into the second week of the finals before they were eliminated in a thriller against grand finalists North Canberra. Cooper finished second in the George Tooke point scoring with 156 points in 15 games, scoring 8 tries and kicking 62 goals.
Meanwhile the Boorowa Roverettes didn’t miss out with leader Imogen Pye being awarded the Coach of the Year in the George Tooke league tag. The Roverettes had an outstanding year considering that in most games they didn’t have any reserves but still managed to be extremely competitive. Imogen scored three tries and kicked 19 goals for a total of 50 points, but it was her enthusiasm and drive that kept the Roverettes in the hunt all season reaching the semi-finals.
Both Imogen and Cooper have been outstanding representatives for Boorowa this year and thoroughly deserved their awards.
