All roads lead to Henson Park this Saturday, 22nd April, when the Inner West’s favourite rugby league team, the Newtown Jets, play a competition game at home for the first time in 2017

It’s been a long wait … but those Boys in Royal Blue are back home at Henson Park this Saturday, 22nd April 2017.

The Jets are coming off a sensational last-minute win against Penrith last Sunday at Pepper Stadium, and they will be primed to play in front of their home crowd for the first time this season.

Prior to the kick-off, the Newtown Jets in conjunction with the Petersham RSL will be honouring all those brave men and women who gave their lives in defence of our great nation.

As well as all the fun on the DEICORP Family Hill featuring FREE jumping castles, face painting, Ice Cream Joe’s Mr Whippy & Barista, the Jetman and more, YOUNG HENRYS NEWTOWNER, Natural Lager & Cloudy Cider will be available for all the Mums, Dads and over 18s … #servethepeople

The Great JR turns 78:

The man who was voted as the Newtown club’s greatest junior product, the incomparable Johnny Raper, turned 78 on the 12th April.

Former Newtown Bluebags team-mates who helped John celebrate his birthday at a pleasant lunch at the Prince Hotel in Kirrawee included Tony Brown, Kevin Considine and Peter Ryan.

The late Frank Hyde always said that he regarded Johnny Raper as being the greatest Australian rugby league player he had ever seen in his lifetime.

The Newtown RLFC congratulates John on his significant birthday, and sends greetings to him and his wife Caryl.
