Jeppe over the hill
Jeppe should go with confidence as they have had a substantially better season than their striped rivals.
There will be a big, excited crowd of current boys and Old Boys. It is a great occasion.

Jeppe have played 18 matches, won 13 and lost five.
KES have played 15, won 7, drawn 1 and lost 7
