Newtown Jets Virtual Team List v Canterbury Bulldogs Wed 22nd July, 2020

Welcome to Round 19 of Newtown Jets Virtual Season 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 TV is broadcasting classic matches featuring our opponents from the 2020 Canterbury Cup NSW draw in “Amco Cup retro-style” 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.

On Wednesday, 22^nd July thanks to a request from Brad Rose (NRLFC member #1095) they head to Leichhardt Oval to bring you a NSW Cup Preliminary Final between Newtown and Canterbury that was actually played on Sunday, 23^rd September, 2012.

Canterbury finished the regular season as Minor Premiers and were gunning for their fourth consecutive NSW Cup premiership. They’d comfortably accounted for the Jets on both occasions the two sides had previously met including a 54-10 thrashing at Henson Park earlier in the year. Newtown meanwhile qualified for the finals in seventh spot but went into the game with much confidence after a spectacular come from behind golden point win over Norths the week prior. The victors progressed to the ‘big dance’ while the losers were left licking their wounds.

So tune in at 8.00pm, Wednesday, 22^nd July to JETS TV www.newtownjets.com or www.facebook.com/newtownrlfc  and follow us on www.twitter.com/newtownrlfc to see what unfolds.
