Newtown Jets Virtual Team List v Balmain Tigers Wed 17th June, 2020

While we might not be able to watch Newtown Jets games live this season we can relive past glories from years gone by. As part of Virtual Season 2020, JETS TVis broadcasting classic matches featuring our opponents from the 2020 Canterbury Cup NSW draw. With the return of NRL live matches on Saturday afternoon, we’re going full-on “Amco Cup retro-style” and will now show you games on Wednesday nights at 8.00pm. Our intrepid social media team will “live tweet” the game as if they had entered a time machine and want you to be part of the action.

This Wednesday, 17^th June in a special edition of Virtual Season 2020 they’re travelling to ANZ Stadium to bring you the 2012 NSW Cup Grand Final between Newtown and Balmain Ryde that was actually played on Sunday, 30^th September 2012.

The game is being streamed via Facebook Video Premiere at 8pm AEST so viewers can watch, chat and engage with it on Facebook in real-time.. Afterwards, it will appear as a regular video on Facebook to enjoy at your leisure.

Just like in 2019 Newtown qualified for the finals in 7^th place. On their way to the Grand Final they beat Norths in Week 2 by two points in a game ultimately decided by a kick for goal (same as 2019) and defeated the minor premiers in the Preliminary Final (same as 2019). In the decider they were up against the team that finished 8^th (same as 2019) who ironically (with Wests Tigers entering a team in the 2013 NSW Cup) would not be competing in the competition the next season (you guessed it, the same as 2019).

So be sure to tune in at 8.00pm, Wednesday, 17^th June to JETS TV www.newtownjets.com or www.facebook.com/newtownrlfc  and follow us on www.twitter.com/newtownrlfc to see what unfolds.
