Lliswerry Junior School came to visit the Second Half last week – and in the process pushed the number of visitors to the scheme for this academic year over the 1,000 mark.

The two classes met and interviewed players James Harris and Ashley Smith, both of whom were very impressed by the courteous and polite way in which the pupils questioned them. “We are looking forward to reading their written reports as they seemed a lovely bunch,” said Ashley.

Lliswerry Junior School can be very proud of their pupils as they have been absolutely super and a credit to the school, their teachers, their parents and themselves. “
