E ight in 10 Australian women drink alcohol during pregnancy. That is the startling claim laid out in a study of almost 2000 pregnant Australian women between the
ages of 22 and 37 as part of the Australian Longitu-dinal Study on Women’s Health, a joint collabora-tion between the University of Newcastle and the University of Queensland.
The study followed female participants for nearly a decade and revealed confusion among expecting mothers concerning the acceptable amount of al-cohol one can consume during pregnancy.
In 1992 the National Health and Medical research Council recommended that pregnant women abstain from drinking, however the guidelines changed in 2001 to allow light drinking.
In 2009 they were reverted back to the current no-alcohol policy.
Hunter Medical Research Institute research aca-demic, Amy Anderson, of the University of New-castle, put the confusion amongst women down to these changes. “The majority of our cohort would be considered complaint if we were looking at the 2001 recommendations but the current guidelines
advise abstaining because we don’t know what a safe level of consumption is,” she said. She added that most the women who admitted to drinking during their pregnancy drank small amounts.
“We are mostly talking low-level alcohol con-sumption of one or two drinks at a time and all were drinkers prior to pregnancy – the figures are closer to 70 per cent when you add the non-drinkers.”
East Maitland’s, Loren Harle, who is 24 weeks
pregnant with her second child, and her partner Joshua Button, were astounded by the statistic.
Miss Harle, a midwifery student, said while her and her partner know of other women who have drank and smoked whilst pregnant, she has ab-stained from alcohol during both her pregnancies.
“It’s not even something you should have to think about – you just don’t drink when you’re pregnant,’ she said.
Study shows 80% of women drink alcohol when expecting

Tony, please can you tread warily for the sake of our country
I don’t often write about federal politics in this column because, for the most part, I find it in-credibly boring.
But I just hope Tony Abbot knows what he is doing with his response to Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhyono after the phone tap-ping scandal.
Of course we don’t want to be seen to be col-lapsing in a heap and grovelling to Indonesia, but surely the best way to smooth things over would be to apologise and assure our neighbours that it won’t happen again.
To be fair, Mr Abbott was not the Prime Minister at the time and said in question time last week: “All governments gather information and all gov-ernments know that every other government gathers information”
That may well be the case, however an immedi-ate response, even if it stopped short of using the word ‘sorry’ could well have cooled the situation.
Now, we have this awkward lack of trust that will take some time to repair. I’m sure Australians would be feeling the same anger had the roles been reversed and Indonesia was caught spying on our politicians.
I’m probably extremely naive in the inner work-ings of international relations, but I’ve always found a certain comfort in Australia being the “good guys”. We’re everybody’s friends, we don’t go sticking our noses into other countries’ busi-
ness and we don’t set ourselves up as a target for attack.
I’m sure you’ve noticed the Post’s new look which follows our recent move to Charlestown.
The redesign encompasses a fresh, modern way of presenting news. Brighter colours and a clean crisp layout.
It’s the result of many hours of careful thought and we hope you continue to enjoy your weekly dose of independent community news. Just a re-minder that we welcome your visits to our new office at 19 Pearson St, Charlestown. I’ve met quite a few readers already in our first two weeks in Charlestown and am hoping to catch up with more of you.
The Special Olympics 2013 Asia Pacific Games gets underway this weekend with the host city welcome event at Blackbutt Reserve on Saturday and the opening ceremony at Hunter Stadium on Sunday evening.

Maitland residents have un-til Friday November 29 to let Council know what they think about the seven-year
rate increase proposal.If the proposal is passed next month,
Maitland City Council will apply to the Independent Pricing & Regulatory Tri-bunal for the special rate variation, which will see residential land rates in-crease by a minimum average of 8.34 per cent each year.
For a residential urban block valued at $148 000, this will amount to a total in-crease of $800 by the seventh year, tak-ing land rates to $1796.32.
A residential non-urban block valued at $296 500 will rise by $1200 to $2913.18.
The Post asked three Maitland resi-dents what they thought of the proposal to raise rates.
Friday the deadline to expresssupport for or concern over council's plan
Community
Have your say on proposed rate rise
Melissah CoMber
As long as they say what they’re going to do with the money I have no problem with the rates going up over a period, but if they don’t, if we don’t see that infrastructure or the mall getting fixed, then I’ll actually go ‘warning bells’ - you’re taken my money for no reason.
It’s actually very, very scary to think that, in the future, are we going to be able to afford it? That block of land that we’ve got and we’ve worked for, we may have to give it up like so many other people, in senior and retirement stage because we can’t af-ford the rates.
I’ll be paying over $2000. They’re making it harder for people to live. In the information booklet they said it’s not fully decided yet but that’s bull. They also said that we need to go up to Newcastle levels. Newcastle is a better avenue to live in – the general populous believes that Newcastle is the be all and end all, so why are we put-ting our rates up to Newcastle levels?
I’m married with two kids and a wife at home, and a little bit over a thousand dollars right now is a bit of a struggle for us. Doubling that is going to seriously affect us.

COLUMN
There's no such thing as a boring nude story
Recently some of my younger colleagues at work attended a show at the Civic The-atre in Newcastle and the morning after giggled their way through a critique of the performance.
They didn’t evaluate the whole show, mind you, just the nudie bits. Apparently this particular production featured full-frontal male nudity and whilst that may only have taken up a tiny portion of the show’s duration (no disrespect meant to the male member of the ensemble there) it was most definitely the bit they fussed over.
This conversation took me back to the first time I saw nudity on stage and again, it was the Civic, but this time the show was ‘Steaming’. Chances are a lot of you are nodding your heads because you too have seen one of the many touring tributes to this spectacle which centres around the patrons of a female bathhouse.
No men, but loads of women, all shapes, all sizes, lounging about in the nude or, for a lucky few, a strategically placed towel. I can’t recall the exact storyline was but the image of one of the larger ladies leaping
up completely starkers and then proceed-ing to jump rope for an entire scene is for-ever emblazoned in my memory. It was at that point I wished that I hadn’t forked out for premium seats. I think a few rows back would have sufficed and been less wet - poor girl worked up an awful sweat. It’s one thing to be sweat upon but another level entirely when its sweat from a naked body.
Now, it has to be said, nakedness is the body’s most natural state but ever since Adam & Eve declared the fig leaf the must have accessory of the day, it has fasci-nated, titillated, disgusted and amused us. We love a good naked story. Ever been caught naked, ever caught someone else naked? You can dine out on those lascivi-ous tales forever.
Streakers, protestors, advertising gurus and artists use nudity to make statements, draw attention, seek fame and sell a prod-uct. Even Kevin Rudd couldn’t tender his tearful resignation without Joe Hockey telling the nation how they shared a ‘semi-naked moment’.
Joe obviously knew working the words
‘semi-naked’ into his farewell speech would garner far greater attention than simply saying ‘Kev & I took a swim in our boardies’...no story there.
After a few fully clothed decades on this earth I have decided being naked is some-thing you’re supremely comfortable doing or you're not.
I have belonged to both clubs and have found gravity and experience (a fancy term for getting older) the culprits be-hind my changing membership. Yes, it’s incredibly empowering to feel at ease in your own bare skin and we definitely want our young girls and boys growing up body confident but there’s a huge line in the sand.
Speaking of which the only stretch of sand in the Hunter where you can legally get your kit off without fear of fine or re-prisal is Samurai Beach at Anna Bay.
So ... after all that...as we face summer head on, there’s only one burning ques-tion I have left....who takes a skipping rope into a bathhouse?????
CheersTanya

T wo Maitland Councillors have got themselves into a prickly situation.
Councillors Philip Penfold and Ben Whiting and normally known for tak-ing on Maitland’s illegal dumping prob-lem or crusading for bus shelters, but this month they’ve tackled the Movember challenge in the hopes of starting a con-versation about men’s health.
“I don’t think it’s just about raising mon-ey,” Councillor Penfold said, notching up six years of participation.
“It’s a talking point, and you’re also sup-porting the others who are doing it.”
Councillor Whiting, a mo-virgin, agreed.“It’s certainly been a conversation start-
er; it’s such an easy way for people to start talking about some big issues.”
The Councillors hope to raise a substan-tial amount for the Movember Founda-

tion, who donate proceeds from the fun-draiser to programs supporting prostate cancer and men’s mental health initia-tives.
“People give cash umprompted,” Coun-cillor Penfold said, including a woman he said handed him $100.
“It makes me wonder if people at some point in their life have had a connection.”
But while both men are happy to par-ticipate, Councillor Whiting won’t be sad to see a razor again.
“I’ve got to say I’m not a fan of the mo - I’m counting down the days to the end of the month.”

M aitland’s housing boom is continuing, with Gillieston Heights on track for up to 50 additional residential lots.
Council has resolved to submit a plan-ning proposal for Gateway Determination for three lots on Ryans Road to rezone the land for residential use, keeping Maitland on track to reach an expected population of 130,000 by 2030.
The land is part of the Gillieston Heights Investigation Area which was adopted by the 2012 Maitland Urban Settlement Strat-egy. The Maitland Urban Settlement Strate-gy identifies future land releases to ensure there is an adequate supply to meet goals set in the Lower Hunter Regional Strategy.
The Lower Hunter Regional Strategy has set a target for 26,500 new homes in Mait-land by 2031.
Area's population expected to reach 130,000 by 2030 as part of Regional Strategy

Extra homes for Gillieston Heights keeps Maitland housing boom on track
The land on Ryans Road which could be rezoned
Despite still being in the planning stage, concerns have already been raised about public transport and mine subsidence in the area, which Council says in its planning proposal will be addressed upon the re-
ceipt of Gateway Determination. “It is pos-sible that the existing bus service could be augmented in the future if demand for in-creased services is required,” the proposal says of the current single-bus service.
“Shallow abandoned mine workings are known to exist in the area near the South Maitland Railway corridor.
“The land is not within a proclaimed mine subsidence district.”

If you haven’t realised, Christmas is upon us. It is the time for good will to all men and women. It is also the time that people flock to the shops buying gifts and with so many people about, it is also the time that thieves can ply their trade in the confusion.
So now is the time to take a look at how to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of theft this Christmas. This especially ap-plies to the elderly folk in our community.
When shopping or out in public in general the following tips should be followed.
•Keep cash and valuables you carry to a minimum. •Use a bag that can be secured (e.g. with a zip). •Hold your wallet or handbag close to you. •Avoid leaving your bag in a shopping trolley, on the back of a
chair or under a table in public places, or on the hook of a door in a public toilet.
•Use ATMs located in public view and be discreet when enter-ing your personal identification number (PIN).
•Count and secure any money you take out of banks at the counter.
Probably the most important thing to remember is for ladies to secure their handbags. Areas where there is a high flow of cars and people can be confusing and allow offenders to get closer to you than under normal circumstances. The tips are all common sense and aim to reduce the chances of you becoming a victim. Shopping can be a pleasure and there is certainly no indication that theft from shoppers is on the increase, but tak-ing a few precautions and being vigilant is always good practise.

POLICE MATTERS
I look forward to welcoming the Law Enforcement Torch Run to Maitland on Saturday morning, en-route to the 2013 Special Olympics Asia Pacific Games Opening Ceremony in Newcastle on Sunday.
Local Police Officers will run alongside Special Olympics ath-letes and local representatives for our local leg of the run that starts from Maitland Police Station at 10:30am. I will be waiting at Town Hall to welcome the runners and witness the lighting of the cauldron. It would be great to see the people of Maitland lining High Street in support of our Special Olympians and you are all invited along to share in a free sausage sizzle after the official ceremony.
The torch run is the pre-cursor to what will be a fantastic week of sport at the Special Olympics, a great opportunity to cel-ebrate the diversity of our community. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all our local Olympians well and I will be at the Opening Ceremony on Sunday cheering on all the 2,500 athletes from 32 nations taking part in this wonderful event.
In Maitland, we won’t need to travel far to see some of the ac-tion either, with Rutherford’s SuperStrike bowling alley hosting the ten pin bowling competition. Such large events like this can only be successful with the help of volunteers and once again I am heartened to hear that Maitland people have put their hands up to help, forming part of the over 4,000 strong volun-teer army acting as ambassadors to visitors not just from across the country but the whole Asia Pacific region.

New app helping support men through some of life's biggest challengesEverybody knows the value of having a mate close by, but a new smartphone app hopes to bring Maitland men even closer.The app is part of ‘The Mates Project’ a program launched by Maitland City Council, which targets the physical, so-cial and mental health of men, by encour-aging them to connect with services, sup-port structures and one another through the app.
The project will also look at the role that friendships play in men’s lives, and what friendship means to men.
Council’s Manager Community and
Recreation Lynn Morton said that the program will allow mean to engage in meaningful discussion about their wel-fare.
“The creative approach utilised by ‘The Mates Project’ will also encourage the en-gagement of community groups and de-mographics which have been tradition-ally hard to reach,” she said.
Council is seeking sponsorship for the program. To sponsor or express an inter-est contact Nathaniel Bavinton, Commu-nity Planner on 4934 9835 or email [email protected] Independently owned & operated by Doubtfire PTY LTD LICENCE 2TA 004184 ABN 65 063 747 937

Mitchell walks tall amongst the best young business planners in the state
H unter Valley Gram-mar student, Mitchell McColl, has narrowly missed out on claiming
the top prize in the statewide Year 11 Business Plan Challenge.
Mr McColl was one of four final-ists to present a business plan to local business leaders at the Uni-versity of Newcastle’s City Cam-pus earlier this month, competing for a share in cash and scholar-ships totalling $16,500.
The Year 11 business studies stu-dent presented a 15 minute long plan for Fro-Yo-2Go, a local prod-uct that offers various flavours of frozen yoghurt accompanied by assorts toppings and mix ins for consumers in a fast-paced self-serve environment that is a healthier alternative to ice cream.
Although Mr McColl failed to take home the first place gong, he did receive $1000 and a $500 for his school as a runner-up.
Challenge director, Michael Seamer, of the University of New-castle, said this year’s competition was particularly fierce.
“The judges had an extremely
difficult time choosing between the finalists as all plans and pres-entations were of such an excel-lent standard,” he said.
The challenge was ultimately won by Ben Robinson, a musician and business studies student from Port Macquarie, who presented a plan for a mobile recording studio.

M aitland Jewish Cemetery is receiving a makeover.
Restoration works are cur-rently underway at the site
off Louth Park Road, bringing the his-toric cemetery closer to recognition as a place of State significance.
27 of the 46 remaining headstones have been earmarked for work, which Council’s Heritage Officer, Clare James, said exhibited Orthodox Jewish values and required extra attention.
”Many elements of the Cemetery re-quire sensitive care when undertaking the work.
“This program will involve repairs such as reattachment of broken monu-ments, standing of fallen headstones, levelling of monuments at risk of falling, and crack repairs.”
A Conservation Management Plan was established for the site last year, which could see it added to the State Heritage Register. The investigation to develop the management plan found that the site was an important example of the historic Jewish community in Maitland.
An open day is planned for the cem-etery next year to showcase the restored headstones.

1-7.12Disability Awareness Week
T he 3rd of December is Interna-tional Day of People with Dis-ability (IDPwD), a dedicated day to place a greater emphasis on
the abilities and achievements of people living with disability.
Individuals and organisations through-out the country are encouraged to cele-brate the day. This year we celebrate the 21st anniversary of International Day of Persons with disability.
IDPwD is unique among community awareness days, as it unites disability organisations, businesses, federal, state and local governments and the commu-nity. The day is a collaborative effort to celebrate and acknowledge the experi-ence and expertise of people with dis-ability.
IDPwD is an opportunity to: celebrate the contributions people with disability make every day to their communities; make a positive contribution to the lives of 4 million of Australians with disability. IDPwD celebrations also incorporate the National Disability Awards.
The overarching UN theme for IDPwD in 2013 is: Break barriers and open doors: to realise an inclusive society for all!
The former Minister for Disability Re-form, Jenny Macklin, and the former Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, Amanda Rishworth have an-nounced the 2013 International Day of People with Disability Patron – Professor Ron McCallum AO.
Emeritus Professor Ron McCallum AO was the foundation Blake Dawson Wal-dron Professor in Industrial Law in the Faculty of Law of the University of Syd-ney. He took up this position in January

As you wipe down your bench with that anti-bacterial wipe, take the antibiotics you have for your runny nose and cut into the steak that’s from a feedlot cow, have a read of this. Ac-cording to an international group of experts the world faces ‘unimaginable setbacks’ unless it tackles the growing threat of resistance to antibiotics.
Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria evolve mecha-nisms to withstand the drugs which are used to fight infection.
Lead author Professor Otto Cars, of Uppsala University in Sweden, said: “The causes of antibiotic resistance are com-plex and include human behaviour at many levels of society”. “The consequences affect everybody in the world. “Within just a few years, we might be faced with unimaginable set-backs – medically, socially, and economically – unless real and unprecedented global co-ordinated actions to transform the way antibiotics are regulated and developed are taken imme-diately.”
Recent decades have seen vast increases in the use of antibi-otics across medicine and agriculture, but the scientists argue that without adequate regulatory controls and better patient awareness, the surge in antibiotic resistance will continue.
They say the problem is compounded by a desperate short-age of new drugs to treat multi-drug resistant bacterial infec-tions. Prof Cars added: “Antibiotic resistance is a complex eco-logical problem which doesn’t just affect people, but is also intimately connected with agriculture and the environment”.
One of the British scientists who helped compile the report said that alarm bells have been ringing – and ignored – for many years.
It is scary to think we could go back to the dark ages of get-ting even a minor infection that we have no way of treating. The stronger your own immune system is, the better. Just like fitness it is a case of use it or lose it. So maybe next time the kids are eating that biscuit they dropped on the kitchen floor don’t take it away and sterilise their hands. Drop a few
more and sit down and have morning tea with them!

Step outside or go out anywhere during our scorching Australian summer and you are bombarded by thousands of women wearing thousands of pairs of denim shorts.
Suitable to be worn at almost any time, to most occasions with-out leaving you hot and sticky, for most women denim shorts are a go-to item.
The right pair of denim shorts are flattering, can be dressed up or down and can be worn with anything but the wrong pair do just the opposite.
I cringe when I see girls and women walking around in denim shorts that would easily fit the description of “booty shorts” in-stead.
Sadly, as the years roll on more and more of us seem to think that it is okay to have our bottoms hanging out of our shorts, leaving nothing to the imagination.
In addition, it is also common to see women wearing shorts so tight that I have to wonder whether they still have feeling in their legs – surely their circulation is restricted?
This is not sexy and is definitely not hot but more importantly is not the way that denim shorts should be worn! Whether you choose the classic blue, simple black, summery white or bright coloured denim shorts, they should be worn with a touch of class.
Now I am not saying they have to be knee length and baggy (I'm not conservative at all), I am saying you should keep your butt cheeks for the beach.
Denim shorts are most flattering when they don’t hug your thighs as they give the illusion of long, thin legs.
The same goes for the waistband – if it feels tight around your stomach or hips, go for the next size up. Once you find a pair that fits you just right, you can then begin to experiment with different looks, incorporating the new season’s trends.
For a casual look, wear your shorts with a plain t-shirt and thongs, a look that is perfect for the beach or the shops. If you are looking to dress your shorts up, throw on a belt with a nice top, some heels and embellish with jewellery. I think it’s fine to wear them to din-ner or the movies.

One Australian woman dies every week as a result of male violence, accord-ing to data obtained by White Ribbon Australia.
The information was released in the lead up to Monday’s White Ribbon Day, an event which celebrates the culmina-tion of an annual campaign and global recognition of the International Day
for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
Chairman of White Ribbon Australia, Lt. Gen Ken Gillespie (Rtd) said that it is important to understand the effects of every act of male violence.
“One in three women over the age of 15 report having experienced physi-cal or sexual violence at some time in their lives, violence is a major cause of homelessness for women and children and costs the economy US$14.7 billion annually in Australia.
“The issue of male violence against women is real. Every woman, and man, can make a stand and speak up about the issue.”
It’s official, we’re getting lazier. In-formation released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Monday found that from the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey only 43 per cent of adult Australians met physical activity guidelines.
National activity guidelines recom-mend adult Australians undertake at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week over five or more separate sessions.
ABS Director Andrew Middleton said the level of physical activity among adult Australians varied according to age, income, education level and socio-economic status.
"One in five Australian adults exercise at very low levels, or not at all".
"Australians living in higher income households, were more likely to meet the national guidelines (52 per cent) compared with those living in lower income households (34 per cent).”
Young Australians aged 18-24 years (53 per cent) were more likely to meet the national guidelines than any other age group compared to only one in four Australians aged 75 years and older.

A Kurri Kurri anti-bullying ini-tiative has been given a $4000 kick-start to implement solu-tions in local schools.
The cash, provided by the Donaldson Coal Community Support Program, will fund a conference where a team from Victoria-based Project Rockit will teach anti-bullying strategies that can be im-plemented in Cessnock high schools.
“We’re seeing an increase in the local rates of self-harm and bullying,” Lakin Agnew, Cessnock Community and Youth
Development Officer, said. “At the con-ference [Project Rockit] will teach lead-ership skills and work with young people to see what the issues are in their school, then upskill people to take solutions back to their own schools.”
Donaldson Coal General Manager, Charlie Spence, said it was important for the company to support community programs.
“Our people live, work and play in the towns and local communities surround-ing our operation.
“We're just glad to have the opportuni-ty to be able to help so many local groups keep doing what they love doing.”

Get set for the Jets
After nearly three years away from the stage, the Scream-ing Jets have made a tri-umphant return to the live circuit with their 15-date
national ‘Real Deal’ tour which will wrap up where it all began – Newcastle, for three special shows next month.
“Mate, it has been unreal,” and enthusi-astic Jets frontman, Dave Gleeson, told TE.
“The first show back was in Caloundra and it was a real festival type crowd which was a great way to get back into it. We’ve also sold out shows at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne and the Metro in Sydney which is just brilliant.”
For Gleeson, though, having the oppor-tunity to wrap up the tour in the band’s hometown was just the icing on the cake.
“Yeah I just can’t wait – it’s so exciting to be playing the Cambridge again,” he said.
“Back in the good old days, we played something like 26 shows in the front bar and we really learnt who we were as a band in there. We have such a long history with the venue and it kind of feels a bit like com-ing full circle to be playing there again.”
Since forming from the ashes of Newcas-tle band Aspect in 1989, the Screaming Jets have been at the very top of the Aussie rock and roll tree. With such rocking and well-crafted tracks as ‘Better’, ‘Helping Hand’ ‘Sad Song’ and ‘October Grey’ , the Jets essentially picked up the pub rock mantle laid down by the likes of the Angels (which Gleeson now fronts) and Cold Chisel.
Gleeson said it was the bands attitude and tenacity (not to mention one of the most formidable stage presences on the circuit),
Stephen BiSSet
just as much as their inherent ability to write great songs, that has seen the band stand the test of time.
“We were a very working class band and I guess, in some respects, we thought we were a lot tougher than we actually were,” he laughed. “I think a lot of that had to do with coming from Newcastle. When regular Joe Public and record companies found out where we were from they were like “oh right, Newcastle,” like there was an aura about the city, and we definitely played up to that. Also, the start and heart of the Jets is the songwriting – both Grant and Paul are brilliant songwriters and
while Grant isn’t with the band any-more, I’ve got complete faith in Paul as a songwriter.”
While this tour will essentially be a greatest hits run – a teaser for an ex-tensive 25th anniversary tour planned for next year, Gleeson reiterated that the Jets were still very much a going concern with a new album planned for next year. “Yeah, we’re going to be re-cording in the new year, so there’s still plenty of life in the Jets yet.”
With the November 12 show old out, you can catch the Screaming Jets at the Cambridge Hotel on Friday, December 13 and Saturday, December 14.

N ewcastle Jets coach Gary van Eg-mond has highlighted a commitment to hard work in off-season training as one of the key factors behind Adam
Taggart’s explosive hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Melbourne Heart at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.
"He took his chances, they weren’t easy goals. He is getting more types of finishes, goals from outside the box now so it is nice to see him de-veloping," van Egmond said.
"His stocks keep on rising, he has been in talks with the club and I’d be surprised if he doesn’t stay".
It took a while for the Jets to assert their domi-nance over a side searching for their first win of the season, but by the latter stages of the match they were clearly on top and had several other decent scoring opportunities. The victory keeps Newcastle in third place.

Star striker Emile Heskey again started from the bench and entered the game in the 51st minute, with van Egmond still afforded the luxury of allowing the Englishman to com-pletely recover from injury while the team keeps winning.
Newcastle head back down the M1 Motor-way this Saturday night for another clash with Sydney FC who have also lifted their form in
recent weeks and are coming off a last-gasp victory over Wellington Phoenix. The match gets underway at 7.45pm at Allianz Stadium.
Meanwhile, James Virgili also scored a hat-trick for the Jets’ National Youth League side in their 6-3 win over the AIS at Wanderers Oval on Saturday.
Mitchell Oxborrow, Kale Bradbery and Joey Gibbs also scored goals for Newcastle.
