JANVRIN School defeated Victoria College Preparatory in the Channel Islands Primary Schools’ seven-a-side football tournament final yesterday held in Guernsey, at Hautes Capelles School.

Despite Victoria taking the lead through Iain McCallum, Janvrin hit back with a brace from Jake Prince to win 2-1 after extra time.

Janvrin School now have the privilege of representing the Channel Islands in the south-west primary schools’ county finals at Millfield School in March.
