IT WAS the love for football and shared common values between former students of St John’s Institution (SJI) that contributed to the success of the second edition of the Fernandez Challenge Cup (FCC) football competition.

The competition, in honour of two lifelong educators at SJI – David Fernandez and his late brother Vincent, saw 14 teams between batches of students from the 1980s and 1990s. There were eight teams last year.
