HJRL GRAND FINALS - THIS WEEKEND!

The biggest weekend of the HJRL season is almost here, with Grand Final action kicking off from 9 am this Saturday, 5 September 2026.

Whether you’re at the grounds or watching from home, there are plenty of ways to be part of the action.

HJRL has partnered with BarTV Sports to bring FREE live coverage from Cessnock Sports Ground (Baddeley Park) and Waratah Oval. Login or create your BarTV account here: www.bartv.com.au/rugby-league/

Professional photographers will be at St John Oval, Reliable Conveyor Group Sports Ground (Kurri Kurri Sports Ground), Waratah Oval, Cessnock Sports Ground (Baddeley Park), and Pirtek Park (Singleton) to capture the action throughout the day. We’ll share the free photo gallery links as soon as they are available.

We ask everyone attending our Grand Final venues to help make this a positive experience for all by following the NRL Code of Conduct ( www.playrugbyleague.com/laws-of-the-game-community/code-of-conduct ). Please show encouragement and good sportsmanship to all participants, including players and team staff on both teams, other spectators, and match officials - especially the referees!

A huge thank you to our Grand Final host clubs and their volunteers for the enormous amount of work that goes into making days like this possible. And thank you to all of the players, volunteers, and supporters who have contributed throughout the year to another great junior rugby league season.

We’d also like to thank our 2026 HJRL Grand Final sponsors for helping us deliver a fantastic weekend for our players and clubs:
Reliable Conveyor Belts ( www.reliable.com.au )
Brooklyn Donuts ( www.brooklyndonuts.com.au)
Harry's Schnitzel Joint ( www.harrys.com.au )

Congratulations and best of luck to everyone taking the field this weekend. Whether you’re competing, cheering from the sidelines, or volunteering around the grounds, we hope you have a fantastic day and enjoy being part of the occasion.

Wishing all our Junior Lions and Lioness the very best as they take the field in tomorrow’s Grand Finals.
Your Souths family is cheering for you, supporting you, and so proud of everything you’ve achieved.

Bring the heart, bring the pride.... and let’s hear that Souths ROAR.

Go the Lions.
