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.

BUSHPIGS 49 – ADFA Lions 49–22
The Jindabyne Bushpigs 1st XV delivered a commanding performance at JJ Connors Oval on Saturday, June 20, 2026, dominating the ADFA Lions 1st XV to secure a 49–22 victory that was clear from the opening exchanges through to the final whistle.
Standout contributions came from Jackson Stewart (#12 – Jindabyne Butchery) and Dylan Johnson (#10 – Macleod Trucking), whose combined efforts in scoring and conversions underscored the Bushpigs’ clinical efficiency. Stewart crossed the try line twice, including an early score in the seventh minute that set the tone for the match. Johnson’s boot was unerring, landing every conversion attempt and ensuring that the Bushpigs maximised their try-scoring opportunities.
The Bushpigs opened the scoring with a try from Mathew Peterson (#13 – Porter’s Power) in the 11th minute, swiftly followed by Stewart’s second try just six minutes later. Johnson’s accurate kicking put the home side well ahead early, establishing momentum that ADFA struggled to counter. Hunter Pearce (#11 – Lean 2 Constructions) extended the lead further in the 17th minute, with Johnson again slotting the conversion.
ADFA Lions mounted their own response with tries from Luke Sparke and Henry Alsworth, but the Bushpigs maintained control. Patrick Killin (#5 – Reece) powered through for a try shortly after halftime, and a penalty try awarded in the 65th minute demonstrated the Bushpigs’ relentless pressure. Late tries from Stewart and Charlie Klemm (#17) sealed the comprehensive victory, while Johnson’s conversions continued to add vital points.
Jindabyne’s dominance was clear across all facets: their forward pack laid a solid platform, the backs executed with precision, and their discipline ensured ADFA’s scoring opportunities were limited. The team’s ability to convert chances into points was a decisive factor in the 27-point margin.
This win reinforces Jindabyne Bushpigs’ strong form in the Southern Tablelands Monaro Cup, setting a confident tone as the season progresses.
