A Big Day at JJ Connors Oval
JJ Connors Oval was the place to be on Saturday. A sold-out Ladies Day, a Charity Day jersey auction raising funds for Endometriosis Australia, and three home matches across the grades and when the final whistle blew, all three Jindabyne sides had won. It was the kind of day the club runs on.Watch the replay of the Bushpigs’ match live streamed on our Youtube channel.
