The Jets have lift-off for 2022!

Newtown Jets head coach Greg Matterson has advised that Newtown’s pre-season program gets underway on Monday, 15th November 2021.

Both Mahoney Reserve (South Marrickville) and Wentworth Park (Ultimo) will be used for on-field training until the Christmas break.

The gymnasium at Rich Street, Marrickville is no longer in use because of the sale of the property.

Newtown’s gym sessions will now be at the Camperdown Fitness complex, with the entrance  located at 63-65 Pyrmont Bridge Road, Camperdown.

Some information on Newtown’s pre-season squad:

Greg Matterson has advised that these players are training full-time for the pre-season with the Cronulla Sharks:
