Willie Beckett ready to lead Glebe Rangers Championship assault
Jason Wilmont and the rest of the management team have been working non stop to ensure the squad is as strong as possible before the league campaign gets underway.
One of their main targets was Willie Beckett who played last season at Ballybogey, and Jason knew securing Beckett’s commitment to the Glebe would be a major boost for the club.
