Jesters U-19 head coach Igor Siskov is looking forward to the match, “The group has had two good training sessions this week and the attitude and application has been sharp. We were also able to play a scrimmage on Wednesday night which allowed some of the squad to work on their match fitness ahead of what should be a very competitive game on Sunday. We are looking forward to playing our first home match of the campaign.”
