War of the Worlds revisited at
Henson Park this Saturday

Orson Welles? famous 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast about a supposed alien invasion sent the populations of New York and New Jersey fleeing from their homes in mass hysteria, and hopefully Sydney Airport Jets supporters will turn out in similar force when Henson Park is ?invaded? on Saturday by another group of ?extra-terrestrial time travellers? ? the Parkes Spacemen RLFC from central western NSW.

Here are the details of what will be a full afternoon of Rugby League at Henson Park on Saturday (March 5th):

12 noon ? Roosters v Rabbitohs Matthews Shield

1.30pm ? Roosters v Rabbitohs SG Ball

3.00pm ? Macarthur-Liverpool Police RLFC v Parkes Spacemen RLFC reserve grade

4.15pm ? Sydney Airport Jets RLFC Jim Beam Cup team v Parkes Spacemen RLFC first grade.

Special guests for the afternoon are two Rugby League identities who played for both the Newtown and Parkes clubs with distinction ? Lord Ted Goodwin and John Bonham.

This match is of particular significance in light of the close financial association that has been formed between the two licensed clubs, the Jets Sports Club and the Parkes Leagues Club.

All Newtown and Parkes supporters are invited back to the Jets Sports Club (in Holbeach Avenue, Tempe) after the first grade match for a big welcoming party for our great friends from up in Group 11. This is one ?airborne invasion? that?s absolutely guaranteed to have a happy ending!
