After a high-flying start to the season where Newtown won seven of their first eight games, the months of May & June have so far brought little joy. Whilst injuries have not been kind, the Jets have pretty much been grounded.

The good news is we’re still in the top 5, but to stay there, we have to start winning football games on a consistent basis.

There is no better time for that to start than this Sunday at North Sydney Oval.

It’s the first leg of the Frank Hyde Shield; it’s a grand final replay; it’s time for our boys to rediscover their mojo and get our premiership defense back on track.

That task will be made easier with a big contingent of the Bluebags faithful out in force at Bear Park cheering loudly for our Men All Dressed in Blue.

If you can’t make it across the Harbour Bridge, the game will be livestreamed on BarTV NSWRL so find a screen and Go the Jets!

Billy is hoisted high by Jets team-mate Aaron Gray in that moment of exhilaration of having won the 2019 NSW Cup Grand Final.

The Newtown Jets say farewell and thank you to a superb player and popular club identity, Billy Magoulias

One of the prestige awards of the night is the Fred Daly Memorial Shield, which is awarded to the player considered to have rendered the most outstanding service to the Newtown RLFC on and off the field. This year's recipient is the Henson Park crowd favourite and powerhouse middle forward Brad "Big Red" Fearnley, flanked by the club President Barry Cotter (left) and the Australian Mutual Bank sponsorship executive and Development Manager Glen Warner (right).
