This was an outstanding performance by our JCT group led by Captain Keith Carroll. This was clearly a game which our JCT deserved to win and were most unlucky having dominated the entire first half of the match.

A special word of thanks to Mr Shaun McCarthy, Mr Jason Emery and Mr Victor Drummy for their tremendous coaching and management of this side. Well done to all involved and every good wish to Wesley College JCT as they progress forward.
