THERE are few better ways of finishing a rugby career than winning a third consecutive premiership and a second straight grand final at home.

Following the Jindabyne Bushpigs 42-25 win over Bungendore in Saturday's grand final, stalwarts Jake Roarty, Matt Caldwell, Deon Becker, and Matt Wants brought their careers to a close.

An injury to Caldwell in the semi-final denied the fullback a chance to finish his Bushpigs journey playing the premiership decider. Caldwell was on hand to celebrate the win alongside hundreds of Bushpigs supporters who cheered the side on to victory.

Caldwell and Roarty are the club's longest serving players, having started with the Piglets juniors before carving a successful senior career.
