The Tector brothers were always destined to excel in sport.

For cricketing siblings Jack, Harry and Tim, the genes are impressive on both sides of the family. The boys’ maternal grandfather, Tom Dixon, won an All-Ireland SHC title with Wexford in 1956 while the previous year, Bill Tector played rugby for Ireland in the Five Nations championship.
