JIC excitement builds in this week’s The Orcadian

This weekend’s Junior Inter-County takes centre stage in The Orcadian this week, with a four-page preview ahead of the multi-sport bonanza.

Orkney will be captained by swimmer Eve Wood and netballer and athlete Jenna Scott, who have been given the honour to lead the county into battle against Shetland across five sports and two days, which this year takes place in Orkney.
