🏉 Exciting News for Tynan Motors Ambassador Luke Lewis! Cronulla Junior Rugby League and Panthers Juniors are thrilled to announce the addition of the Luke Lewis Cup in 2024.

The Luke Lewis Cup will be played annually starting in 2024 and will feature a representative team comprised of the best Open Men's players from each district.

This groundbreaking initiative not only pays homage to Rugby League legend and Tynan Motors Ambassador Luke Lewis—who won premierships with both the Cronulla Sharks in 2016 and Penrith Panthers in 2003—but also signifies a thrilling new chapter in community Rugby League.

Cronulla Chairman John Mannah expressed his excitement at the announcement:

“Its exciting to have open age representative Rugby League back on our calendar, and partnering with Penrith Junior Rugby League looks like being a great move." 

"We are very aligned in our thinking regarding promoting Rugby League in our districts, and being able to test ourselves against the largest Rugby League nursery in the state (Penrith) provides a great opportunity for our local players.”

Panthers Juniors Chairman Jarrad Whitby was equally ecstatic about the match proposition:

"The day no doubt promises to be a showcase the talent, dedication, and passion for the sport that is palpable in both districts and hopefully a healthy rivalry can be fostered for years to come"

"It was a no brainer for us to link up with Cronulla Junior Rugby League and their team, with their healthy Open Men's Competition they host each year. I have no doubt the game will be a competitive occasion."

Luke Lewis, a two-time NRL Premiership winner, debuted for Penrith in 2001, playing 208 games for the Panthers before joining the Sharks in 2013. As a member of the exclusive ‘300 Club’ with 324 total games, Lewis is also a Clive Churchill Medallist and has represented Australia 16 times and the NSW Blues at Origin level 17 times.

Tynan Motors has proudly supported Luke Lewis for many years, celebrating his incredible career both on and off the field. We're thrilled to see his legacy honored through this exciting new competition.
