Kayel and Kayal Cups are for the year’s most outstanding junior player
This trophy was donated by Keran and Lesley Unka in 1995 to recognise the most outstanding junior player.
Typically this has gone to the highest achieving year 8 U13 representative player. Some years it has been shared or we have had to take their representative history into account.
