Newtown Jets Virtual Team List v NZ Warriors Wed 3rd 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 TV is broadcasting classic encounters 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, 3^rd June they’re travelling to the foot of the mountains to bring you a momentous NSW Cup Elimination Semi-Final encounter between the Newtown Jets and NZ Warriors in a match that was actually played on Sunday, 11^th September 2016.

Newtown went into the game as underdogs as it was expected that the Warriors with the larger number of players with NRL experience would overpower the Jets. So be sure to tune in at 8.00pm, Wednesday, 3^rd June to JETS TV www.newtownjets.com or www.facebook.com/newtownrlfc  and follow us on www.twitter.com/newtownrlfc to see what unfolds.

Another way you can Keep The Jets Flying into the future is donate to Laps With Trady which is exactly what Royal Blue Legends Club member Dave Nelson did last week to the tune of $1,000 – Dave you are a Royal Blue Legend! This fundraiser has been set up by a group of members and supporters and features our lovable larrikin John Trad doing laps of Henson Park on his trusty penny farthing every Saturday.

It was great to see our major sponsor Sydney Mutual Bank’s Syd The Pig at Henson last Saturday to lend Trady a hand.
