Jets Return Home for an Easter Saturday Blockbuster at Henson Park!

History was made last Sunday when the mighty Newtown Jets claimed their first-ever victory in Canberra, defeating the Raiders 34–26 in the nation’s capital. It was a strong rebound from the previous week’s loss to Melbourne and means the Bluebags return from three tough away trips with two impressive wins to open the 2026 season.

This Saturday, our Men All Dressed in Blue finally return to a rejuvenated Henson Park — the spiritual home of the Newtown RLFC since 1936 — for our first home game of the year. And what a matchup it is: the 2024 KOE NSW Cup Premiers taking on the 2025 Premiers, the NZ Warriors. Both sides are coming off last-start wins, setting the stage for an Easter Saturday showdown worthy of the hype. Bring the noise, Bluebags faithful.

Fun on the DEICORP Family Hill

There’s plenty happening off the field too:

• Free jumping castles and face painting for the kids

• Mr Kernal serving hot dogs, tenders, fries and chips on a stick

Food & Drinks for the Big Kids
