The JCT got their first outing of the year off to an excellent start with a convincing 37–5 victory over Villiars. From the opening whistle, the lads played with great energy and intent. Bryan, Conor, and Ben were outstanding at 10,12 and 13, with all three making a huge contribution both sides of the ball. 

There were plenty of strong performances throughout the team. Hugh Corcoran made some excellent carries in tight, while Harry showed a fantastic work rate at number 8. Rory looked dangerous in attack while proving rock solid at fullback.

The tries came from Bryan, Josh, Conor (2), and Ben (3), with Leo adding a conversion.

It was also a particularly memorable day for Zeke, Antonio, Jaime, Daniel, Gonzalo, Mike, and Marius, who all made their first appearances on a rugby pitch. Each player made a positive contribution, with Jaime standing out in particular and impressing on his first outing.
