Celtic JAB prize giving 2026 ☘️☘️

What an incredible year we have had, thank you to all of our amazing volunteers and sponsors.

Celtic would not be the club it is without all of these people’s support, it means the world to us to have such a family orientated and well supported club.

Special acknowledgement to New World Ashburton for all your ongoing support in our JAB grades.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year. In the meantime, enjoy the next few weekends of no sport before the summer sports begin.

Thank you again
Tom Waters
JAB Club Captain ☘️
