The Newtown Jets might not have taken out the NSWRL Knock-On Effect NSW Cup premiership in 2022, but the Boys in Royal Blue did win the Minor Premiership for the first time since re-entering the second-tier level of rugby league in Australia back in 2000.

The Minor Premiership-winning team is pictured above after their thrilling drawn game against Canterbury-Bankstown, played at Henson Park on Saturday, 27th August 2022.

The Newtown Jets of 2023 will resume their pre-season training program on Tuesday, 10th January.

Newtown’s Knock-On Effect NSW Cup 2023 draw is available for perusal on this link:  https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/?competition=113&season=2023&team=500142

Newtown’s first competition game is against our near-neighbours and fellow 1908 Foundation Club, the South Sydney Rabbitohs. The match will be played at Henson Park on Saturday, 4th March 2023 at 3.00pm.

The Newtown Jets might have been off their game on Saturday, but they still retained the Tom Raudonikis Cup for 2025 by virtue of their better points for and against over the two games played against Western Suburbs this season.
