Newtown Jets Virtual Team List v St George Illawarra Wed 16th September, 2020

Welcome to Finals Week 3 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, 16^th September they head to Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Kogarah to bring you a 2019 Canterbury Cup NSW Preliminary Final between Newtown and St George Illawarra that was actually played on Sunday, 22^nd September, 2019.

Newtown Jets were taking on the minor premiers with the winner advancing to the Grand Final to play either South Sydney or Wentworthville whose Preliminary Final was played the day before.

Newtown beat the Dragons on both occasions in the Canterbury Cup NSW premiership rounds. In round 11, the Jets won 36-22 at WIN Stadium, Wollongong. In round 16, Newtown defeated the Dragons 24-18 at Henson Park, thereby claiming the Tom Kirk Cup for 2019.

The Newtown RLFC called on Jets supporters to turn out in big numbers at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, as the Dragons had a home ground advantage in this match.

So tune in at 8.00pm, Wednesday, 16^th September to JETS TV www.newtownjets.com or www.facebook.com/newtownrlfc  and follow us on www.twitter.com/newtownrlfc to find out if our march to premiership glory continues.
