Newtown Lions Junior Rugby League Toowoomba

Come on down to Bunnings Toowoomba West for the Father’s Day Community night. Who doesn’t love a footy throwing comp?!

Last night, the Newtown Lions enjoyed a fantastic night at the Toowoomba Turf Club for the annual TJRL Gala, proudly hosted by Souths. It was a wonderful night celebrating the people who make it all happen!

The night was spent celebrating junior rugby league, catching up with familiar faces and recognising the incredible people who give so much to our clubs.

A huge congratulations to Deanna Karaka, who was awarded Newtown’s TJRL Volunteer of the Year Award! 💙🦁

So incredibly well deserved. Deanna has worked tirelessly to help keep our club running, not only in her role as Registrar, but through the countless other things she does behind the scenes. Her dedication, time and commitment to Newtown certainly does not go unnoticed!

We also had the opportunity to celebrate our incredible club captains and committee members, who have all played an important role in making this season what it has been.

It truly takes many hands to run a footy club, and we are incredibly grateful for every person who gives their time to help make Newtown Lions the special club it is.

Congratulations again Deanna — so very deserving! 💙🦁

Good luck to Peyton Buckingham, representing the South West U11/12 Girls team at the State Championships in Mudgeeraba over the next four days! 💙🏉

Rip in, play hard, have fun and show them exactly what a Newtown Lion is made of! 🦁💙

We are so incredibly proud of you, Pey! Go out there, back yourself and give it everything you've got! 🔥
