Hosts of the evening will be Andrew Barnett, one of Australia’s top comedians and football personalities, alongside Buffalo Trace Distillery whiskey expert, Gee David.

“We’ve never seen anything like this done at Henson Park,” said Stuart McCarthy of the Newtown Jets. “We can’t wait to smash records right in the heart of our bourbon-loving Sydney suburb with Buffalo Trace Distillery – a brand with a rich story and engaged fan base.”
