U15s Newcastle Jets defeated Nepean FC 2-0 in a deferred washed-out fixture this evening at Penrith which secures the promotion of the Newcastle Jets Academy to FNSW Boy’s Youth League One next season!
Promotion is determined by the accumulation of all points gained by u14s, U15s, U16s, and U18s Boy’s Youth teams during a season and this falls under the banner of Club Championship. The teams in the first two positions in the Club Championship are promoted to FNSW Boy’s Youth League One.
With 4 matches remaining for all teams, Hills United lead the Club Championship on 233 points, Newcastle Jets are on 224 and St George City FA on 211 points. After tonight’s result in Penrith, even if St George win all four of their games on the last round of the season and Newcastle Jets lose all four, the most points they can gain are 223!
Hills United and Newcastle Jets are therefore the two clubs that will be promoted into FNSW Boy’s Youth League One for the 2023 season! Congratulations to the players, parents, coaching staff and administrators of both clubs and good luck in 2023.
After securing the U16s FNSW Boy’s Youth League 2 Premiership last week, the Newcastle Jets take on second placed Hills United in a game of no significance at Speers Point on Sunday. The two teams have been going neck and neck all season until Hills lost to Rydalmere 1-0 last week, giving the Jets an opportunity to open up 4 point lead after defeating Hakoah 2-1. Hills United are equal second with Nepean who play bottom placed Bonnyrigg White Eagles. The 4th placed team, Rydalmere will secure 4th spot with a win against lowly placed St George. Given the semi-final format is 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd, it looks like a Newcastle Jets vs Rydalmere and Hills United vs Nepean semi-final in a week’s time.
In u18s Newcastle Jets are in 7th place with no possibility of making the semi-finals. Hills United have a mathematical possibility of making the semi-final but highly unlikely given that 4th placed St George play 5th placed Rydalmere. Both teams will therefore have nothing more to play for other than their pride.
U15s Newcastle Jets play Nepean in a deferred wash out game tonight in Penrith and a win against their 2nd last placed opponent secures promotion of the Newcastle Jets Academy into FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1 next season. The Jets team will finish the season in 2nd place regardless of the result tonight and on Sunday against Hills United. Their most likely opponents in the semi-final the following week are South Coast Flame and NWS Spirit FC.
U14s Newcastle Jets are in 6th spot with no possibility of making the semi-finals. A win against first placed Hills United on Sunday will not improve the position of either team and this will be another game in which players will be playing for their pride.
U13s Newcastle Jets is the second Jets team to win the Premiership after defeating Nepean in Penrith 4-0 last night. The young Jets have scored an incredible 118 goals this season and go into the match against Hills without any reason to play for other than their pride. Their opponent in the semi-final the following week will be either South Coast Flame or Bankstown United.
In the Club Championship, Newcastle Jets have the opportunity to secure promotion into FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1 tonight if U15s defeat Nepean in Penrith. If this does not happen, the Academy requires 3 points from the four matches between their u14s to U18s sides vs Hills United on Sunday.
Round 30: Newcastle Jets vs Hills United on Sunday 11th September at LMRFF Speers Point.
U16s Newcastle Jets win the FNSW Boy’s Youth League2 Premiership after defeating Hakoah Sydney City 2-1 in Sydney in conjunction with the 1-0 defeat of Hills United by Rydalmere Lions in the second last round of the 2022 season!
On a wet and windy afternoon the U16s Newcastle Jets players took on a Hakoah team that was fighting for a semi-final birth by winning 4th place in a competition dominated by the Jets, Hills United and Nepean FC throughout the year! With Hills United only two points behind and having learnt that they were defeated 1-0 earlier in the afternoon by Rydalmere, the Jets players also knew that a win against Hakoah would give them the 2022 U16s Premiership of NSW!
With such prizes at stake for both teams and in arctic conditions at Moore Park in Central Sydney both teams began the match with intensity and aggression. The Jets dominated possession and drew first blood with a cross from the left which was brought down well and with a shot that left the Hakoah goalie with no chance. As soon as this occurred the flood gates heaven opened with bucketing rain adding to the arctic playing conditions.
Against the run of play and during a free kick from outside the box the Jets defense failed to clear a ball which ended up at the feet of a Hakoah player who buried it into the Newcastle goal for the score to be level 1-1. This was the first and only goal scoring opportunity by the opposition in the entire first half.
The Jets continued to dominate possession as the rain continued to bucket down! Just before half the Jets won a free kick outside the box and from the ensuing floating ball, a well placed header ended the half with the Newcastle team leading 2-1.
The second half was an arm wrestle between a team that needed to win to secure 4th place on the ladder and a team that was too strong to allow their opponent back into the game! The final minutes were played out and once the referees whistle sounded the end of the match players and coaching staff were one mass of happy faces.
Regarding the Club Championship, wins by U14s, U15s, and U16s have resulted in the Jets requiring 1 point (1 draw) from their remaining 7 matches (3 against Nepean & 4 against Hills United) to secure 2nd place and promotion to FNSW Boy’s League 1 for next season.
Round 29: Hakoah Sydney City vs Newcastle Jets on Saturday 3rd September at Moore Park Sydney.
U18s Jets lost 4-2
U16s Jets won 2-1
U15s Jets won 4-0
U14s Jets won 4-3
U13s Jets drew 1-1

U16s Newcastle Jets play the second last match of the season away to Hakoah Sydney City and are in the hunt for a win which will contribute to them winning the Premiership and the Newcastle Jets Academy gaining promotion to FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1! With two games remaining the u16s Newcastle Jets are 5 points ahead of Hills United who play Parramatta on Wednesday night and who meet Rydalmere Lions on Saturday. Both Hakoah and Rydalmere will be fighting for 4th place on the ladder which will enable them to enter the semi-finals.
If the Jets win and Hills United defeat Parramatta and lose or draw against Rydalmere, the Jets win the 2022 U16s Premiership on Saturday. If both teams win, all will be decided on the last day at Speers Point where the Jets require a win or a draw to claim the title. If the Jets lose against Hakoah and Hills United defeat both Parramatta and Rydalmere, the Jets require a win at Speers Point on the final game to win the Premiership!
In the first match at Speers Point the Jets overcame Hakoah by 3-1. In the past 5 matches, the Jets have won 4 and had 1 draw while Hakoah have won 2, lost 2 and had 1 draw.
U18s Newcastle Jets are in 4th spot on the points table with a game against equal second last Hakoah on Saturday and Nepean on Monday. The Jets are stronger on paper and if they win both matches, they should reach 2nd spot and be in the semi-finals.
U15s Newcastle Jets are comfortably in 2nd place on the points table and should overcome 10th placed Hakoah who have won only 1 game in their past five outings on Saturday and 2nd last Nepean on Tuesday in Sydney.
U14s Newcastle Jets are 6th on the points table and will not make the semi-finals regardless of the results in their final three games of the season. They meet a strong Hakoah team who is only 1 point behind them on the points table on Saturday but should not have any difficulty overcoming second last Nepean next Wednesday.
U13s Newcastle Jets are equal 1st on the ladder with a game in hand! They will meet stiff resistance from Hakoah on Saturday who are only one point behind but should have no troubles over second last placed Nepean next Wednesday.
Regarding the Club Championship, Newcastle Jets are in second place on the table which leads to promotion to FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1. The u14s to u18s teams have a total of 11 games to play until the end of the season. For the Newcastle Jets Academy to secure 2nd place and therefore promotion they need to record 5 wins in those 11 matches!
This should be achieved by mid-week during the games at Nepean in Sydney!
Round 29: Hakoah Sydney City vs Newcastle Jets on Saturday 3rd September at Moore Park Sydney.
U16s Newcastle Jets defeated Bonnyrigg White Eagles 2-0 on Sunday afternoon at The Forum, University No2 Oval, in Newcastle to complete a 7 match marathon in 14 days! The Jets have now played all four of their washed-out games, are 5 points clear on the ladder with two matches remining!
The match against Bonnyrigg was never in any doubt with the Sydney team creating no more than one clear cut chance all game. The Jets opened the score early from a well taken corner and a volley from the far post. After this goal, the Jets continued to dominate possession but the warm conditions and the fact they were playing their 7th match in 14 days began to show. Despite this, they went into half time 1-0.
In the second half the Jets continued to dominate possession and create goal scoring opportunities. During a sustained attack, a foul was made on the edge of the box which resulted in a Bonnyrigg player to be shown the red card. From the ensuing free kick, the Jets scored and the 2-0 score line remained until the end.
This was not the most entertaining game but the players did enough to win and bring their 14 day football marathon to an end.
After this match they remain in 1st place, 5 points ahead of Hills United who play their final wash-out game against Parramatta on Wednesday night. Unless both teams drop any points in their remaining games, the Jets against Hakoah next week and Hills against Parramatta and Rydalmere, the Premiership will be decided at Speers Point in the final round of the season when the two leading teams face each other.
Round 20: Newcastle Jets vs Bonnyrigg White Eagles on Sunday 28th August at The Forum University No2. Oval Newcastle.
U18s Jets won 3-2
U16s Jets won 2-0
U15s Jets drew 1-1

U16s Newcastle Jets recorded another casual victory over St George by 3-0 at The Forum, University Oval 2 on Saturday afternoon and are 3 games away from winning the U16s FNSW Boy’s Youth League 2 Premiership. The Newcastle team were favourites to win this match and dominated the game throughout.
They led 2-0 at the break, added another goal early in the second half and had a plethora of chances to make the score line much higher throughout the match. This was the 6th match in 13 days for the team but judging by the way they were playing, it didn’t give that impression!
On Sunday they play out the wash-out match from Round 20 against Bonnyrigg White Eagles at the same venue and at the same time to complete a 7 game football marathon in 14 days! Given that Bonnyrigg have only won 4 games all season and are placed last on the points table, the Newcastle Jets are favourites to win this match too!
The other great news about Round 28 is that the Jets teams secured 9 points for the Club Championship from a possible 12 and have already moved into 2nd spot on the table despite playing 7 games less than 3rd placed St George City FA. Any points gained on Sunday’s game against Bonnyrigg White Eagles will add to this tally and this in turn will lead to promotion in FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1 next season.

U16s Newcastle Jets complete their football marathon of seven matches in 14 days this weekend when they meet St George on Saturday and Bonnyrigg White Eagles on Sunday at the Forum University No 2 Oval. The first match is Round 28 of the competition while the second, Round 20 which had been declared a wash out due to the weather.
The U16s Jets sit in first place of the competition, two points clear from their nearest opponent while St George occupy equal second last spot on the ladder while Bonnyrigg is last. Obviously the Jets are favourites to win both games but they might be without some players on Saturday who might be “playing up” as well as the physical fatigue from playing seven matches in 14 days!
Victory in both games is necessary for the Jets if they are to have a chance of taking out the U16s Premiership as well as contributing points towards the Club Championship that lead to promotion to FNSW Boy’s Youth League 1.
U18s Newcastle Jets will have a tough opponent on Saturday as St George sit in 6th spot on the ladder, only 4 points behind the Jets and will be contesting for a place in the final 4. The Jets have had two consecutive losses while St George have recorded only one loss in the past five games. Sunday should be an easier task for the Jets team as Bonnyrigg are second last in the competition.
U15s Jets are comfortably in 2nd spot on the ladder but will be tested by St George on Saturday who are in 11th spot and Bonnyrigg who are in 7th position. The only advantage for the Jets is that neither opponent has a chance of making the top 4 and will be playing only for their pride.
U14s Jets are in 8th position after two consecutive wins and should have a competitive game against St George who are in 12th spot. On Sunday the task will be much harder against Bonnyrigg who are in 5th position on the ladder and will be looking for points to secure a top 4 finish.
U13s Jets are in 3rd position with two games in hand but will need all the strength they can find on Saturday to quell the challenge from St George who are 4th on the ladder and who will be playing for a possible top 4 finish. Sunday will be less intense as Bonnyrigg are third last on the ladder and will only be playing for their pride.
Another interesting weekend of football and many points at stake for all five Jets teams.

Round 20: Newcastle Jets vs Bonnyrigg White Eagles on Sunday 28th August at The Forum University No2. Oval Newcastle.
The midweek top of the table clash between Nepean FC and Newcastle Jets at Penrith certainly lived up to its expectations! It had excitement, goals, intensity, controversy, and most importantly, two teams who stood toe to toe for 80 minutes trying to win 3 points.
The first half began with Nepean playing a 3-5-2 formation which was designed to stop the Jets from imposing their passing game, a tactic which succeeded. As a result of not enjoying the usual domination of play there was an unusual lack of composure in the play of the Newcastle team.
Within the first five minutes the Newcastle defence was caught square at the back and a simple through ball enabled one of the Nepean forwards to make the score 1-0 for the Sydney team! The rest of the half continued to be an arm wrestle between two teams that cancelled each other out. The Jets couldn’t break through the flanks nor through the middle of the Nepean defence.
Just before the half time whistle, a clearance from the Newcastle goalkeeper resulted in a Nepean defender receiving the ball deep in their half, another defence splitting ball, and Nepean leading 2-0 at the break!
In the second half the momentum of the Nepean team dropped as they began to show more concern at protecting their 2-0 lead than adding to this, while the intensity of the Newcastle Jets increased. Soon the Jets began to string their passes together and began to dominate play for the first time in the game.
A free kick from outside the box was floated in, it ended up at the feet of a Jets winger who crossed it into the head of a Newcastle forward who had no difficulty in bringing the score back to 2-1! This gave the Newcastle team even more momentum and their passing game resulted in more domination while the Nepean team were reduced to back peddling.
Another head on attack from the Jets resulted in the ball being played out wide, a Newcastle winger then fired a shot which took a slight deflection and the game was brought back to 2-2! The Jets continued to attack and create goal scoring opportunities. During a sustained Jets attack a shot from outside the box hit the Nepean cross bar, the ball appeared to bounce behind the line but after a deliberation between the linesman and referee, a “no goal” was decided!
Nepean then replied with a goal of their own which was judged as offside! The teams continued their arm wrestle until the final whistle.

U16s Newcastle Jets travel to Penrith on Wednesday for a top of the table clash with Nepean FC as part of a washed out Round 21 match which was originally scheduled for Sunday 10th July!
The match against Nepean will be the 5th game in eleven days for the Newcastle team and the 6th for most of it’s players who deputized for the u18s over the weekend in Wollongong and Sydney!
Nepean occupy 3rd spot on the ladder, trail the Jets by 5 points and are fresh from a 7-1 away thrashing of Parramatta on Saturday at Melita stadium. The Jets are in recovery mode from a 1-0 away win in Wollongong over South Coast Flame on Saturday and a 4-2 win over Prospect United in Sydney on Sunday. They will be at full strength on Wednesday night, something which they haven’t been for many weeks due to many of their players ‘playing up” in u18s who in turn have been playing up to accommodate a shortfall in the playing roster of the u20s.
A win by the Jets keeps them in first spot on the ladder and ranks them favourites in the hunt for finishing as u16s FNSW Boy’s Youth League 2 Premiers for 2022! A loss for Nepean puts them out of range for this honour and reduces their season to a battle for 2nd or 3rd spot with Hills United.
Will the Jets have enough in the tank to beat a Nepean team which they defeated 4-1 at Speers Point earlier in the season or will the fatigue and the hunger of the Nepean team be too much to handle?
The match is due to kick off at 7:15pm at Jamison Park in Penrith on Wednesday 24th August.
U16s Newcastle Jets return on their throne at the top of the FNSW Boy’s League 2 table after defeating Prospect United SC 4-2 in Sydney on Sunday afternoon! Starting the match at full strength, the Jets began the game at a high tempo that rewarded them with three goals in the first 20 minutes! The match was effectively over as a contest before a quarter of the game was played but it was evident from the number of games played over the past week, the intensity of the game could not be sustained over the duration of the 80 minutes!
Within the first 5 minutes of the second half the Jets added a fourth goal with a header from a nicely taken corner. The sunny conditions of Sunday, a stark contrast to the windy and icy weather experienced in Wollongong the day before, began to take its toll on the Jets players who were playing their 4th game in seven days! The intensity began to drop in the last 20 minutes giving the local team their best part of the game. During this period they managed to draw one goal back through a soft penalty and a second, through a well executed free kick from outside the box.
Despite the late rally by the Prospect players, the Jets collected another 3 points which returned them to the top of the U16s table, 1 point ahead of Hills United who have also played one game more!
Sunday turned out to be a very productive day for the Jets as they were able to accumulate 9 points out of a possible 12 that keeps them in the hunt for one of the first two places in the Club Championship that leads to promotion to FNSW Boy’s League 1 next season!
This match was a wash out Round 11 game that was originally scheduled for 1/5/2022! The U16s Newcastle Jets head back to Sydney on Wednesday evening to contest another wash out game from Round 21 against Nepean FC .
