Jindabyne Bushpigs win third straight rugby premiership - Snowy Mountains Magazine

The Jindabyne Bushpigs have claimed a third straight premiership in the 2nd Division South Coast Monaro competition with a stellar 42-25 victory over archrivals the Bugendore Mudchooks. Playing in front of a huge home crowd at JJ Connors Oval in Jindabyne, and perfect mountain weather, the home side gave the crowd plenty to cheer about and proved again they are the dominant team. Game Report Issac Maw barged his way over for the opening try which was converted by captain Dylan Johnson for a 7-0 lead after 7 minutes. From that point on, the team were never seriously in doubt, although it was a tough encounter. Winger Ethan Cawthorn is given plenty of early ball and utilises free space down his left wing to make inroads into Bungendore territory. Matt Jones had an outstanding game, his physical size and metres gained with powerful runs continually forced Bugendore onto the back foot, allowing the Bushpigs' speedy backline to shine when required. Dylan Johnson gains a penalty after a high shot from a defender who receives a yellow card from the referee. From the pursuing plays Brock Freeburn scores in the right corner. Johnson does not convert and the Bushpigs lead 12-0 after 12 minutes.
