It’s free entry to all the ladies at Henson Park this Saturday, when the Newtown RLFC pays tribute to the enormous role played by so many women in modern-day rugby league. There will be free bubbly and nibbles available in front of the grandstand on Saturday for all the girls 18 and over. There will also be a special fund-raiser for the St Vincent de Paul Elsie Refuge in Dulwich Hill, as described in this link: https://www.vinnies.org.au/page/Find_Help/NSW/Domestic_and_family_violence/Elsie_Women_s_Refuge/
The Newtown Jets face up to top-of-the-table Mounties, the Canberra Raiders partnership club in the Intrust Super Premiership.
