Bonnyrigg Sports Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bonnyrigg Sports Club is the home of the Bonnyrigg White Eagles football club in Bonnyrigg, New South Wales, Australia.

The ground has played host to some notable matches over the years but none more so than the friendly clash between the Bonnyrigg White Eagles and the high-profile 1991 European Cup Champions Red Star Belgrade who were in Australia on a mid-season break in January 2001.

[edit] History

The ground dates back to May of 1966 when 7 acres of land was purchased for the building of a social club and footballing grounds. Over the years the grounds and club itself were improved when in 1986 it became the permanent home ground for the Bonnyrigg White Eagles.

In 2001, an additional 3 acres of land was purchased as part of a plan to renovate the club and expand the training grounds. This was completed in October of 2005.
