Henson Park - Newtown Jets

Newtown Jets

  • Since 1937, the ground has been primarily known as the home of the Newtown Rugby League Football Club ("The Bluebags"), today known as the Newtown Jets. The Jets played in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership, a forerunner to the National Rugby League, until 1983 when they were dropped from the competition for financial reasons. However the club was re-established as a senior club in 1990 and returned to play at the ground. The Jets are now the feeder team for the NRL side the Sydney Roosters.
