Blockbusting forward Mickey Paea has claimed the major prizes at the Newtown Jets annual presentation night held at the Jets Sports Club on Monday evening (19th November).

Special guests included the Federal Member for Grayndler Anthony Albanese, the Mayor of Marrickville Councillor Dimitrios Thanos, Sydney Roosters CEO Brian Canavan plus a strong representation from Newtown's group of sponsoring organisations.

Mickey Paea won the Newtown Jets best and fairest award as well as the prestigious Fred Daly Memorial Shield, awarded to the player judged to have made the most positive contribution to the club during the year. It caps off a great year for the popular Paea who played in the Sydney Roosters NRL team on several occasions in 2007 as well as being a standout player with the Tongan national Rugby League team in their recent matches.

Other award winners were:

Clubman of the Year - John Cahill

Players' player award - Jamie Soward

Coach's award - Rory Kostjasyn

Rookie of the Year - Anthony Cherrington

Best Back - Shaun Kenny-Dowall

Leading Points Scorer - Shaun Foley

Leading Try Scorer - Shaun Kenny-Dowall

Special recognition was also made to the club's very capable photographers Gary Sutherland and Mike Biboudis; Susan Harkus for her high quality website design and maintenance services and to Dr. Bassam Moses for professional medical services to the club. The Newtown club also acknowledged all the players who had turned out with the Jets in the 2007 season who had won various representative honours.

Sydney Roosters CEO Brian Canavan, Newtown Jets President Barry Vining and senior Jets Director Terry Rowney all praised the stability and rationale of the Rugby League partnership between the two clubs, now entering its third year. Both clubs will celebrate their centenary years in 2008 and are totally focused on successful on-field performances in the new season. Although the Jets didn't make the semi-finals in 2007 the club retained the three trophies contested on an annual basis with the Balmain, North Sydney and Western Suburbs Rugby League clubs.

The Newtown Jets will be well-represented in the inaugural Rugby League International Federation Shield final between England and Tonga, to be played on Sunday at the Halton Stadium, Widnes.

The three Paea brothers - Lelea, Lopini and Mickey - will be key players in Tonga's spirited challenge for the Federation Shield, along with the Sydney Roosters centre David Pangai who is very likely to be a regular in Newtown's 2007 VB Premier League team. Another Tongan player with a Newtown pedigree is their team captain Solomon Haumono, who was a member of a Newtown under 15's junior premiership team way back in 1990 along with the multi-talented Anthony Mundine. Big "Solo" now plays with the London Harlequins in the English Super League.

The Paea brothers all had huge games in Tonga's 48-10 win over France at Castres last Sunday which guaranteed the Tongan boys a place in the Federation Shield final and a good chance of upsetting title favourites England.

The Annual Newtown Festival is on This Sunday
There will be plenty of Newtown merchandise available at Sunday's Annual Newtown Festival, the biggest and undoubtedly most bizarre of all of Sydney's colourful community carnivals. The Festival is on from 10.00am to 5.30pm this Sunday, 12th November in the Camperdown Memorial Park (corner of Australia and Lennox Streets, Newtown). Livewire Jets Director John Lynch claims that every conceivable aberration and deviancy in human behaviour is on display at each year's Newtown Festival, so what better place for the popular lines of Newtown merchandise to be on show! There will be two separate Newtown merchandise stalls in different sections of the park to take advantage of the anticipated 100,000 people in attendance. Why not get along for a great day's entertainment and the chance to get some fabulous Newtown Jets merchandise as Christmas presents?

Places Still Available for the Frank "Bumper" Farrell Golf Classic (Wednesday, 15th November)
You can still book a place as an individual player or as a team for next Wednesday's "Bumper" Farrell Golf Classic at Marrickville Golf Club. Newtown's last Rugby League international Phil Sigsworth will be playing and he is sure to bring along a few identities from the FOGS organisation (the former NSW State of Origin ex-players' organisation that does such great work for various charities).

Ring Jenny Grosvenor at the Newtown RLFC office now on 1300 36 36 90 to reserve your place. Bookings close at 5.00pm on Monday, 13th November.
