Jenkintown boys soccer vs. Plumstead Christian
Drakes soccer at home midweek. Kickoff is quarter to four, so it is over well before dark and it costs nothing to stand at the touchline.
Jenkintown girls tennis vs. Dock Mennonite
Home tennis against Dock, on the same afternoon the field hockey team plays. Two things on one campus if you want to make an hour of it.
Jenkintown field hockey vs. Bristol
Bicentennial League field hockey at home. Jenkintown is a small school playing a small schedule, which means you will recognise half the sideline by the second half.
