NOVEMBER, DECEMBER 2025 & JANUARY 2026
Dear Members,
As we draw closer to the end of 2025, it’s a pleasure to reflect on what has been another milestone year for Wenty Leagues.
Financially, I’m pleased to report that we are well on track to exceed our full year targets across all revenue streams which is testament to your continued strong patronage of the club. This strong position
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
ensures we can keep investing in the club’s long-term future and deliver outstanding value to our community.
A major part of this investment has been our Entertainment Hub redevelopment, which continues to take shape. We were proud to open Stage 2 of the project in September, with every stage bringing our long-term vision to life and ensuring Wenty remains a leader in the club and hospitality industry. We can’t wait to unveil Stage 3, stay tuned!
If you haven’t visited the club recently, we warmly invite you to experience all that’s on offer. From exciting events and live shows to delicious dining and vibrant community programs, there’s something for everyone at Wenty, and we’d love to share it with you.
As the year comes to a close, I would like to take a moment to recognise the outstanding leadership of CEO Glenn Kovacs and the entire Wenty Team. Their dedication, professionalism, and passion for delivering exceptional experiences have
PRESIDENT
been instrumental to our success throughout 2025. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we extend our sincere thanks and wish them and their loved ones a safe and joyful festive season.
I’d also like to acknowledge and thank the Board for their ongoing contribution, insights, and commitment to our strategic direction. We are equally grateful to their families for the time and energy they allow our Board to dedicate in support of our club’s continued success.
To our valued members, thank you for choosing Wenty. Your loyalty and engagement mean everything to us. We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Here’s to another great year together in 2026.
Warm regards,
Ian McCann

Dear Members,
Welcome to the final edition of The Journal for 2025, and what a way to finish the year!
There’s a real buzz around the club with our Touchdown in the USA promotion in full swing. One lucky member will win a oncein-a-lifetime trip to the Super Bowl in San Francisco, and the energy will be electric at the major draw on Sunday, November 24. We encourage everyone to join us for what promises to be a standout out.
CEO’S REPORT
In the lead-up to Christmas, the club is alive with festive spirit and family-friendly fun. From Bubbles and Brushstrokes, a creative, relaxed evening of painting and sipping, to Gingerbread Decorating Nights, Santa Visits, Ham and Seafood Raffles and our Toy Raffles (with all proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House), there’s something for every age and interest to enjoy.
Our passion for supporting the community extends beyond the festive season. We’re proud to sponsor the Nines Premier League Sydney Qualifier, highlighting our ongoing commitment to sport, community and events that bring people together, whether on the field or right here at the club.
Looking ahead, the momentum continues as we welcome 2026 with open arms and plenty of dancing as the clock counts down. Further ahead, Australia Day at Wenty will feature delicious Aussie-inspired food specials and a themed raffle filled with homegrown favourites, perfect for a relaxed day out with friends and family. Then, it’s straight into
January school holiday activities, keeping our youngest members entertained with a fun and engaging lineup.
As we approach the end of the year, I want to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to the entire Wenty team. Their tireless efforts, positive energy, and dedication to creating memorable experiences for our members and guests are what make this club such a special place.
To all our members, thank you for spending 2025 with us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year for another exciting chapter. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas and a happy, safe New Year.
Warm regards,
Glenn Kovacs
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Spinning with Heart: 12 Hours of Cycling for Families in Need
In September, the Wenty Team proudly took part in The Big Spin, a 12-hour spin cycling challenge hosted by Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney at Bennelong Lawn. As one of 70 teams on the day, we rode 25,000 kilometres, all in support of seriously ill children and their families. The event raised more than $550,000, with our contribution of $5,000 helping to fund vital services such as accommodation, meals, and emotional support for families staying at Ronald McDonald House in Westmead.
The energy of the day, with live music, motivating instructors, and a sense of purpose, kept everyone pushing through. It was incredibly moving to see such widespread support for families going through some of life’s most challenging moments. The team were grateful to participate in this event and are already looking forward to next year’s Big Spin!
Partnering with Parramatta Mission to Support those in Need
A strong and growing partnership with Parramatta Mission provides vital support to some of the most vulnerable members of the community. This collaboration is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when organisations work closely together. Recently, staff volunteered with Parramatta Mission’s Meals Plus program, on 2 different occasions, preparing and serving hot lunches to individuals facing homelessness and financial hardship. Beyond providing meals, the program offers a safe space for connection, respect, and care, highlighting the importance of empathy and long-term support.
In addition to volunteering, a generous collection of essential winter items was donated, including handmade scarves and blankets from the Karabi Knitting Group and contributions from our members, staff, guests and local sporting clubs. These donations brought comfort to those in need during the colder months and reinforced the impact of community collaboration. The experience deepened staff understanding of Parramatta Mission’s ongoing work and strengthened their commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships that drive real and lasting change.
Making a Difference One Meal at a Time
Participation in the Meals from the Heart initiative at Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney offers vital comfort to families with seriously ill children. This program provides home-cooked meals, delivering not only nourishment but also a sense of warmth and care during challenging times. The team recently prepared and served a heartfelt Italian dinner on 2 occasions, aiming to bring moments of normalcy to families facing difficult circumstances.
Volunteering in this initiative provided a meaningful way to support families throughout their stay. The partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney remains deeply valued,
with ongoing efforts to contribute through both collaboration and hands-on involvement, reinforcing a shared mission to help families in need.
Handmade Comfort: Teddy Bears bring Reassurance
In a display of community spirit, one of our community partners Karabi Knitting Group donated a collection of lovingly handmade teddy bears to another community partner in Little Wings, a not-for-profit organisation that provides free air transport for seriously ill children across regional and rural New South Wales. These teddies will accompany young patients on their journeys to critical medical appointments, offering comfort and easing anxiety during flights, which can often be long and stressful trips away from home.
Little Wings plays a vital role in supporting families who must travel far from major hospitals to access specialist care. By offering safe, professional flight and ground transport, the organisation helps reduce the emotional and financial burden on families, allowing them to focus on their child’s health. The heartfelt contribution from the Karabi Knitting Group highlights the power of small, thoughtful acts to make a big difference, bringing both practical support and emotional warmth to children and families during their most challenging times.
Uniting for Life: Raising
Awareness
Our team proudly participated in Jersey Day, a national initiative supporting DonateLife to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation. Staff showed their support by wearing jerseys from various sporting codes, using the opportunity to promote meaningful conversations about becoming a donor.
Jersey Day is a reminder of the life-changing impact of organ and tissue donation. Wenty Leagues is helping to spread the message that one donor can transform up to seven lives. The day encourages all Australians to consider registering as donors and, crucially, to discuss their decision with loved ones.
Starting Conversations that Matter
R U OK? Day is a national initiative that highlights the power of a simple question in making a meaningful difference. The day serves as a reminder to check in with those around us, whether friends, family, colleagues, or neighbours, and start conversations that can positively impact mental health and wellbeing. As part of our involvment in the initiative, a dedicated cupcake stand was set up, providing a sweet treat and a chance to spark meaningful conversations in a relaxed and friendly setting.
Wenty Leagues is committed to encouraging a connected and supportive community with everyday moments of care, whether over a meal or a casual chat. By promoting the importance of asking “Are you OK?”, the hope is to inspire more people to reach out, listen, and help create a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Jeans for Genes Day
We’re thrilled to share the success of our Jeans for Genes Day Cupcake Stall, which raised over $1,000 in support of the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Thanks to the generosity of our members, patrons, and staff, the event brought our community together for a cause that’s close to many hearts. With cupcakes handcrafted by our talented in-house pastry chef, Chef
Olivia, the stall was a colourful and joyful highlight that drew smiles and support from guests of all ages.
Beyond the sweet treats, the day featured a lolly guessing competition and raffle, creating a fun and inclusive atmosphere for everyone to get involved. Every donation and purchase contributed to vital research into childhood genetic diseases, helping to fund breakthroughs that offer hope to families nationwide. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who took part, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event and making an even greater impact together.
Building Strong Foundations for Grassroots Rugby
As part of our continued commitment to grassroots sport and community development, a new sponsorship has been launched in support of the Lebanese Cedars Rugby League team. This exciting initiative aims to empower young athletes, foster emerging talent, and promote programs that build both sporting ability and essential life skills among Lebanese youth.
The partnership is focused on creating meaningful opportunities for aspiring players through grassroots initiatives, youth development programs, and coaching clinics. By supporting these pathways into professional rugby league, the collaboration aims to strengthen community connections and highlight the potential within the Lebanese Rugby League community.

Transforming Lives Through Local Investment & Support
ClubGRANTS is a long-running initiative supported by the NSW Government that allows registered clubs to reinvest a portion of their gaming revenue into projects that deliver real social benefits. Wenty Leagues has been a proud and active participant in the program for many years, working closely with local councils and service providers to ensure that funding goes where it is needed most.
Wenty Leagues is proud to continue its strong commitment to community support, having contributed more than $2.7 million to local initiatives through the 2024–2025 ClubGRANTS program. This significant investment is helping to fund a wide range of essential services and community-based projects that are creating real and lasting change for individuals and families across the region.
Over $739,000 was funded under Category 1. These funds are supporting critical areas such as emergency and low-cost housing, mental health services, community education programs, domestic and family violence support, and services for culturally and linguistically diverse communities. These are frontline services that provide life-changing assistance to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
An additional $2 million has been distributed under Category 2 funding, which supports broader community development initiatives including local sporting groups, and cultural programs. These projects help build stronger, more connected communities, encouraging participation, and enhancing lifestyles for local community members.
With more than $2.7 million in contributions this year alone, Wenty Leagues continues to be committed to creating lasting, positive impact where it’s needed most.

Wenty to Host the Nines Premier League: Backing the Future of Local Footy
A proud moment for our community and the game we love
Excitement is building as Wenty Leagues proudly announces its role as the official host venue for the Nines Premier League (9PL) Sydney Qualifier this November, a thrilling event set to bring elite competition, community spirit, and high-profile exposure right to our doorstep.
As Naming Rights Sponsor for the Sydney Qualifier, Wenty Leagues has already had the honour of hosting the official Live Draw in our vibrant Wenty Events space, a night that brought together teams, supporters, and league representatives to celebrate the spirit of the game and officially launch an exciting new season of rugby league.
This partnership marks a bold step in reinforcing Wenty Leagues’ long-standing commitment to grassroots and community sport. The Nines Premier League combines speed, skill, and entertainment, attracting passionate fans and showcasing the next generation of rugby league talent. With Wenty Leagues as host, we’ll be at the very heart of the action. Many teams will also
feature former NRL players, either taking the field or lending their experience as coaches, adding another layer of excitement and quality to the competition.
Beyond the on-field action, this partnership highlights Wenty Leagues’ world-class facilities, exceptional hospitality, and leadership within the community. From our dynamic event spaces to the outstanding culinary experiences our members know and love, we’re proud to deliver an atmosphere that reflects the very best of Wenty Leagues.
The Nines Premier League’s mission aligns perfectly with our own to support sport at every level, foster emerging talent, and create meaningful opportunities for players and fans alike.

BOWLING CLUB
The past few months have been filled with triumphs, close calls, and some remarkable individual performances on the greens. From Metro Pennant success to thrilling finals in our club championships, here’s a round-up of all the latest action and what lies ahead for Wenty bowlers.
Double Pennant Glory – Women’s Div 2 and Men’s Div 3
It has been a season to remember in the Metro North-West Single Gender Pennants, with Wenty proudly securing two flags.
Women’s Division 2: The ladies showed immense composure to hold off the highly favoured Merrylands outfit. In a tense finish, they held their nerve to claim the Region title – a victory built on teamwork, tactics, and sheer determination.
Men’s Division 3: The men also earned their success the hard way. After a gritty semi-final win over Greenlees Park, they squared off against North Epping in the decider. At the three-quarter mark, Wenty surged to a 20-shot lead, only for North Epping to mount a fierce comeback. In the end, it all came down to the final end, with Wenty holding firm to capture the flag.
Both sides will now represent the club at the NSW State Finals from 4–6 August 2026, with venues still to be announced. Whatever the location, our teams have proven they can match it with the best.
Penrith 5-a-Side Campaign – A Wake-Up Call
Our run at the Penrith 5-a-Side tournament has been a rollercoaster so far. After two convincing wins in the opening rounds, Wenty’s momentum was halted by a sharp Austral Eagles side in Round 3. The defeat was a reminder that consistency is key in this competition, but the boys remain well in contention for a semi-final berth. Expect a strong response in the coming weeks as the side looks to rediscover its early form.
$5,000 Wenty Battlers Tournament – New Easter Date
The popular Wenty Battlers Tournament, catering for bowlers in Grades 5, 6 and 7, has been rescheduled to Easter Monday, 6 April 2026.
• Format: Triples, four games x 12 ends
• Prize Pool: $5,000
• Entry: $150 per team (first 28 paid teams accepted)
Teams seeking a refund can contact the Bowls Office, but we strongly encourage players to finalise their entries quickly. With limited spots and plenty of interest, this event promises to be a standout.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS
Major Open Pairs
The Open Pairs Final will see Rohan Dennis & Rick Lucey take on Matt Henry & Zane Ballhouse in what promises to be a blockbuster clash. Both pairs have played scintillating bowls to reach this stage, and spectators can expect fireworks when the final date is confirmed.
Major Open Singles
One of the most inspiring stories of the season belongs to 85-yearold Mohan Lal, who has stormed into the Major Singles Final. His remarkable achievement at such a sprightly age is a testament to his skill and love of the game. He now awaits the winner of the muchanticipated Andrew Swan vs Matty Swan father-and-son semi-final.
Over 40s State Pairs
Congratulations go to Rohan Dennis & Rick Lucey, who have qualified for the NSW Over 40s State Pairs Finals at Yamba this December. The duo has been in blistering form, rarely dropping a game across multiple big events this year.
Women’s Major Pairs
Defending champions Lyn Hickey & Marg Mitchell once again proved their class, edging out Geraldine Baldwin & Sheryn Batcheldor in a thrilling Women’s Major Pairs Final. The match see-sawed throughout and was ultimately decided by an extra end – a fitting finale to a contest played in great spirit.
Key Upcoming Dates
• Wednesday, 8 October – Midweek Pennant Commences
• Saturday, 22 November – Ham Day

The next few months promise even more excitement, and with State Finals and major events just around the corner, there’s plenty for our members and supporters to look forward to.
Here’s to more success on and off the green – Go Wenty!

CRICKET
The new cricket season has now officially commenced, and I am pleased to provide an update on our club’s activities and participation levels.
Senior Teams
This year we are fielding nine senior teams, which highlights the continued growth and enthusiasm within our playing group. The breadth of teams ensures that all players – whether socially focused or highly competitive – have the opportunity to participate at an appropriate level.
Junior Teams
Our junior program continues to expand with 21 teams entered across the age groups. Importantly, we are delighted to report that this includes two all-female teams competing in the girls’ competition. This is a significant milestone for our club, reflecting our commitment to diversity, inclusiveness, and providing equal opportunities for all young cricketers.
Woolworths Cricket Blast
The Woolworths Cricket Blast program will once again be offered for children aged 5–10 years. The program will commence in mid-October and will be run on Tuesday evenings. This initiative plays a key role in introducing the youngest members of our community to cricket in a fun and engaging way, laying the foundation for their future development within the club.
Season Outlook
With strong numbers across both senior and junior grades, growing female participation, and the return of our Blast program, the season ahead is shaping up to be highly successful. We look forward to seeing our members enjoy their cricket, build friendships, and contribute positively to the club’s culture both on and off the field.

FISHING
Josie Moncrieff & Winston Tattersall
Gil Chaperon & Robbie Chaperon
On 21st June 2025 Kiama had brilliant weather, with fishing at all different tips from 138m to 60m. We saw a lot of whales and we caught 38 good fish in total weight of 16kg. Mario Leo caught the biggest fish of the day, a 2.1kg snapper and the biggest bag of 2.28kg.
A few of the boys from the Fishing Club went for a trip out of Gladstone at the Great Barrier Reef on the Mikat fishing boat a good time was had by all with plenty of fish caught.
Next club trip was on the 19th July out of Kiama another beautiful day on the boat and we fished at 130m to 60m and 42 good fish with a total weight of 23.4kg. Doctor Safwat caught the biggest fish of the day, a 2.55kg barcode the biggest bag of 3.44kg also went to the doctor.
August trip was cancelled due to bad weather and rebooked for the 13th September as the make up trip. On the 13th September beautiful day but it was very slow start in the last hour, 25 large leather jackets, 9 moorong, 3 flathead and 1 pig fish, 1 snapper with fishing in a depth of 140m, biggest fish a leather jacket of 1.18kg to the doctor.
The committee organised an extraordinary general meeting regarding some of our members thoughts on changing our current fishing out of Kiama. The meeting was held on 6th September with very poor attendance by our members, the decision was made to change our fishing arrangements from the weekend to mid week out of Sydney due to safety issues for a lot of our older members driving home from Kiama after a day fishing. It was voted on and it was unanimous to the members that attended this will commence at the end of the year on 3rd Wednesday of every month.

To begin this month’s report, we had our second quarterly meeting back at the club on the 13th July after our Woodville game. Thank you to all those who attended and especially thank you to those who contributed their feedback. It is always great to hear what our members have to say.
Our Winter Ambrose was played on the 20th July at Glenmore Park with the following results:
Winners:
Aaron Dixon, Manatu Fatu, Jarod Simonetta and Tim Furhmann
Runners-Up:
Rob Trent, Mark O’Brien, Bill Hilder and Troy Tyson
Congratulations to both teams.
Our fourth COW round was played at Penrith on the 21st September. Kelekolio Fangupo (Soup) defeated Rei Reihana 2up and Dominic Scali defeated Jarod Simonetta 3 and 2. Soup and Dominic will play off to determine our champion. Good luck to both.
We commenced our Singles Matchplay event at Penrith on the 10th August which is played over four weeks. The Studley Park game took place on the 31st August with the following results:
A grade: Winner Jim Clarke and runner-up Dominic Scali.
B grade: Winner Leon Gietzmann and runner-up Danny Chaiban.
C grade: Winner Jason Childs and runner-up Frank Pagano.
Once again, congratulations to our winners, runners-up and fellow competitors.
Our over 50s, 60s and 70s was played at Wallacia on the 14th of September and our winners were:
Over 50s: Rei Reihana
Over 60s: Ray Johnson
Over 70s: Jim Clarke.
I would also like to take the opportunity to officially welcome some new members to our club. John Pais and Andrew Soames who have obtained their Wenty handicap. Wilson Soloman who is a returning member, and Steve Csabanko and Steve Taraboulsis who are in the process of gaining their handicap. Our membership numbers are increasing which is terrific to see.
We have had more jackpot holes go off since our last journal. Manatu Fatu on the 7th at Windsor with 95cm. Tim Furhmann on the 3rd at Penrith with 89cm, and Matt Pittas on the 12th at Campbelltown with 66cm. Prizes ranged from $51 to almost $400 so well done to all our winners.
So far this year, our guzzlers have increased to twenty-seven over our first thirty-eight rounds. The first three clubman positions are Jarod Simonetta (151pts), Rei Reihana (149pts) and Ryan Payne (140pts), so not much in it at this stage.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. See you all in 2026.
If you are interested in joining, please check the club website or email us at golf@wentyleagues.com.au for details.
Kind Regards.

GOSHIN JU-JITSU
Goshin Ju-Jitsu teaches a system of unarmed defensive techniques, using an attacker’s momentum against them, which is traditionally based and adapted for modern day situations. It is a modern form of the ancient Ju-Jitsu system, where knowledge, not strength, is required to defeat your attackers.
Ju-Jitsu is a Japanese martial art that can be enjoyed by women, men and children from 8 years of age.
Our end of year is fast approaching, our annual Presentation Luncheon plans are underway and will be held on Sunday 30th November in the Wenty Leagues Blaxland Room. Instructors are currently monitoring students closely in order to finalise nominations for the name trophies that will be presented on the day.
Family night is on Wednesday 3rd December and is an excellent opportunity for families to see what our students have learned throughout the year and marks the end of our training year.
Congratulations to the following students who were recently graded:
Senior Orange Belt: Alicia Welsh

Our instructors are all looking forward to our upcoming National JuJitsu Seminar in October. It will be wonderful to catch up with familiar faces and learn new techniques & strategies for effective self-defence from a large cross-section of different dojos.
Training is held every Wednesday night during the school term in the Wally Webster Hall from 6.30pm. Junior membership is open to students who are children of members of the Wenty Leagues Club, from the ages of 8 to 18 years.

SUB CLUB reports
NETBALL
The 2025 season has been an outstanding one for Wenty Leagues Netball Club and reflects the hard work, dedication, and passion shown across all levels of our organisation.
Out of a total of twenty-five eligible teams, twenty progressed into the finals series, a remarkable achievement that demonstrates the depth of talent and commitment within the club. Among these, four teams claimed the title of minor premiers, and five enjoyed the rare accomplishment of completing their seasons undefeated. From this success, eleven of our teams secured their places in Grand Final Day, and we are immensely proud to share that six of these teams went on to be crowned premiership winners; a phenomenal achievement and testament to the skill, determination, and spirit within our club.
In addition to team results, the club has celebrated significant accomplishments in the area of umpiring. Our members continue to shine in this space, with Elliana being selected for the prestigious Netball NSW Youth Advisory Board, recognising her leadership and potential at a state level. Joh has earned the opportunity to officiate at the Masters State Titles in October, furthering her development and reputation as an umpire of quality. Meanwhile, Ellysa’s selection for the Men’s Metro League highlights the calibre of umpiring talent fostered within our club and the pathways that are available for officials to reach higher levels of competition. Congratulations also goes to Elli who received the Western Sydney Academy of Sport – Netball Umpire of the Year award.
Our players have also continued to achieve at representative levels, proudly showcasing the skills and values they have developed within Wenty Leagues. Among the highlights, Sarah from our Division 1 side was named captain of her Dooley’s Metro League Division 3 team and has once again demonstrated her leadership and ability across another successful season. Rees and Sienna have both enjoyed strong campaigns in their Dooley’s Metro League Division 6 development side, steering their team into the finals and continuing to impress with their growth and performance. A particular congratulations must go to Akur, who was named as an Emerging Talent by Netball NSW and competed at the Netball NSW Games in September, a recognition that cements her as one of the most promising young athletes in the state.
We also extend a huge congratulations to all our award recipients at the Blacktown City Netball Association Inc. Presentation
• Tahlia, Nora & Ana – MVPs of their representative teams
• Akur – Championship Player at State Age & BCNA Player of the Future
• Vanessa – Senior Coach of the Year
• Melissa – NetSetGo Coach of the Year
• Isobelle – Junior Umpire of the Year
We’re equally proud of all our nominees (too many to list; what an incredible achievement!) and every one of our representative players.
Looking ahead, many of our players have already begun preparing for the upcoming Court Craft Summer Series, with selections announced across several representative teams. Akur has been chosen for the
Blacktown City Team One, while Sarah, Tahlia, and Jiann will compete for Team Two, and Francine and Rees have been selected for Team Three. Nevaeh has been named in the under 17s side. These selections highlight the spread of talent within our club and reinforce Wenty Leagues as a key contributor to the wider netball community.
As we approach our presentation evening and end-of-year wrap-up, we pause to reflect on what has been another incredibly successful season for our club. These achievements would not have been possible without the dedication of our committee, the tireless work of coaches and managers, the commitment of our umpires and players, and the ongoing support of families and the wider club community. Together, we have built a culture of excellence and inclusivity that continues to deliver both results and enjoyment for our members.
Wenty Leagues Netball Club is proud of what has been achieved in 2025, including six premiership-winning teams and a host of individual honours; and looks forward to carrying this momentum into the 2026 season.

SQUASH
It has been a busy time with many events to report:

Plans are also in place for another social day to be held on 18th October 2025 at the Northmead courts, depending on court availability. These social days facilitate lower ranked players to compete and mingle with the higher ranked players using a handicap scoring system.
We wish to thank our outgoing president John Musumeci for many years of outstanding service and commitment to our club.
As this is our last report for 2025 we wish all members of Wenty Leagues Club and their families a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2026.
Keep fit, play squash

SUB CLUB reports
WDRLFC (HNWP AND RON MASSEY CUP)
September sees a close to most rugby league seasons including the Harvey Norman Women’s and the men’s Ron Massey Cup.
After being crowned minor premiers in 2024 unfortunately the Harvey Norman team had a contrasting season in 2025 finishing with 1 win and 1 draw but in all fairness, there was a loss of several players from last year to other NRLW clubs this year. Therefore, 2025 was a year of rebuilding with the recruitment of many new players and a relatively young squad and although the results don’t reflect much success, the girls where very competitive throughout the year. Thanks to all the players with some travelling from Canberra and Cessnock to train and play, and thanks to all the staff for the patience and dedication but unfortunately coach Lino Salafai, Assistant Joe Galuvao, and team manager Maherau (Milo) Arona have indicated they will be moving on in 2026, we wish them the best of luck with their future endeavours.
Once again, our Ron Massey team continued to excel with another Grand Final appearance. Finishing 4th after the regular season and with a top 5, each semi-final appearance was sudden death. Semi-final 1 saw Wenty beat last year’s premiers Glebe 26 - 8, week 2 the boys where once again triumphant with a score of 32 – 18 over Mounties, move onto week 3 and the Grand Final qualifier the Ron Massey team showed strength and composure winning 26 – 10 against very strong Ryde-Eastwood. Onto the GF, and full of confidence, against our archrivals in St Marys and after an early try to lead 6 – 0 the bounce of the ball evaded us for the remainder of the first half going into the break 22 – 6 down. To the team’s credit they never threw in the towel and showed their usual fighting spirit to fight back but unfortunately the margin was too far eventually finishing in a 36 – 22 loss. Once again, thanks to all the players on another outstanding season and hopefully we will see you all back next year. To Brett Cook and his staff, congratulations on another stellar year and showing why they have been the best crew in this competition for many years now. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Joe Nohra who won the NSWRL Ron Massey Cup Player of the Year Award.
JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE
The 2025 season has been another outstanding year for Wentworthville United Junior Rugby League. We proudly fielded 32 teams across all age groups, from Under 6s through to Open Age, including our Try Time and Sydney Shield teams.
This season, 12 teams qualified for finals, with 10 teams competing in the final series and three securing Premiership victories. This is an exceptional achievement and a true reflection of the dedication, teamwork, and commitment across our club.
Congratulations to our Minor Premiers:
• Under 17 Div 1
• Sydney Shield
Congratulations to our Premiership Winners:
• Under 15 Div 2
• Try Time
• Open Men Gold
We look forward to celebrating the efforts and achievements of all our players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters at our upcoming presentations. Every individual’s contribution has been vital to our success this year, and we are proud of what has been accomplished both on and off the field.
Looking ahead, from 1st November 2025, the responsibility for the Sydney Shield team will transition to Wentworthville District Rugby League. This decision, made in partnership between Juniors and District and endorsed by the Wentworthville Leagues Club Board of Directors, will enable us to reduce costs and reinvest directly into our junior programs. This change will strengthen player retention, development, and pathways across all levels of our game.
We extend our sincere thanks to our coaching staff, volunteers, parents, and players for your ongoing dedication, as well as to our board members for their leadership and support throughout the year.
Finally, we are pleased to announce that registrations for the 2026 season will open on 1 December 2025. Please stay connected via our social channels for further updates.
Together, we look forward to building on this year’s achievements and making 2026 even more successful season for Wentworthville United.
