Through Blue Eyes - A Pictorial History of the Newtown RLFC

"The Newtown Rugby League story ranges from its beginnings in the Edwardian era and then through the irresistible currents of cultural, economic and social change during the 20th Century, and towards the end of the 21st Century's first decade.

Anyone who has been to a Newtown Jets home game at Henson Park on a winter Saturday afternoon in recent seasons - and who has seen the hundreds of children playing on the expansive grassy hill, or passing and kicking footballs on the field at half time, or has observed the ritual of the Newtown Jets players going en masse to the fence to greet their supporters at the end of another hard fought match - would recognise that our club is a marvellous community organisation that still provides great sporting entertainment and serves a broader social purpose for so many people, which includes developing our youth for sport, especially Rugby League."

Barry Vining
President Newtown RLFC

Pride in the royal blue jersey

Through Blue Eyes presents the story of the Newtown Rugby League Football Club.

"The real story at Newtown, though, is not just a recitation of the club's Honour Board. It comes from the pride every player instilled into the jersey, the work of the officials and the connection between people of all age, shape and size at the club."
