The South Coast will get a taste of the retro rugby league sensation which has proved extremely popular in Sydney when the Beer Footy and Food Festival comes to Bomaderry for Group 7’s Magic Round at the end of the month.

Bomaderry’s newly renovated Royal Artie Smith Oval will be the place to be on 31 May when the festival is held on the South Coast for the first time.

The festival has attracted large crowds to NSW Cup matches at Newtown’s Henson Park and North Sydney Oval, home of the Bears, and tickets are on sale for the Group 7 version.
