Wenty had a lot of ball in first 20 mins, Newtown’s defence tested

Newtown pulled up for accidental shepherd in 24th min; scrum feed to Wenty 25m out from Newtown’s line

Another scrum feed to Wenty inside Newtown’ 20m zone after Jets knock down Wenty pass (this was the second time a probable try had been averted)

Repeat penalties to Wenty inside Newtown’s 20 metres (27th min)

Another penalty to Wenty in 28th min

Fogarty kicks a penalty goal in 29th min (Wenty 8-0)

Extended time in possession and in good field position eventually pays dividends

Conv by Fogarty. Wenty 14-0 after 34 mins

Newtown has rarely had the ball inside Wenty’s 20 m zone for the entire first half

Jets lose the ball midfield in 38th min, just when they desperately need some time with the ball.

Half-Time: Wenty leads 14-0.

Repeat penalties to Newtown inside Wenty’s 40 m zone enable Jets to mount some attacks

Wenty defence is up to the task

59th min: Fa’amanu’s grubber kick into Wenty’s in-goal in nth-eastern corner looks as if it has been grounded by Jordan Drew, but referee Briscoe rules no try

61st min: Midfield pen to Wenty puts them back in possession deep in Newtown’s territory

69th min: Repeat sets at Wenty’s end and Newtown applies extended pressure

Daniel Mortimer shows and goes and scores 10 m to the right of sthn goal-posts

Conv by Nu Brown Wenty leads 20-12 in 70th min

The Newtown Jets might have been off their game on Saturday, but they still retained the Tom Raudonikis Cup for 2025 by virtue of their better points for and against over the two games played against Western Suburbs this season.
