Each Home & Away match in the Senior competition offers a club the chance to earn points toward its Warren Bagnall Memorial Shield tally.
In a men’s and women’s match, a club can earn five points for a win, three points for a draw and one point for a loss. If a men’s or women’s team wins on forfeit the team will earn six points while a team that loses due to a forfeit will get minus one point.
In a reserves and Under 18s match, a club can earn three points for a win, two points for a draw and one point for a loss. If a reserves and Under 18s team wins on forfeit the team will earn four points while a team that loses due to a forfeit will get minus one point.
The club that accrues the most points throughout the home and away season will be presented with the Shield as that year’s champion club.
