Off with a BANG!

Tigers beat local rivals Northampton Saints On Saturday 16-12 with a sell out crowd supporting them all the way, but this hotly contested derby match was just one of the highlights for JTC members on matchday.

The JTC VIP Area opened two hours before kick-off with members queuing on the doors to take part in all the fun in the JTC Area. Our special guests for matchday were the Leicester Tigers props, Logov’ii Mulipola and Ryan Bower. It was Logov’ii’s first time to the JTC VIP Area, so he and Ryan got to JTC nice and early to see lots of you before trying their hand at making milkshakes. They also answered some of the questions you’d all been writing for them, we found out Ryan's favourite boy band was JLS and it has taken Logov’ii two months to grow his hair. There’s a chance for everyone to meet the players at JTC so come to the milkshake bar with your camera and autograph book so that you can take the memory home with you.The JTC VIP Area opened two hours before kick-off with members queuing on the doors to take part in all the fun in the JTC Area.

Both the Tigers props also picked out three lucky Tiger Cubs, Joseph Henfrey, James Egan and Zachary Mukwamba to join Isaac Banks and Matthew Shilton who won online to go on the pitch with Welford and the JTC Matchday Mascot was Eleanor Tuckey who joined Lewis Rudd. You can enter these each week when you come in – just ask to enter the ballot.

We hope you all managed to stick around to enjoy the fireworks after the match. In the keeping of the game, lots of you painted fireworks pictures with Anna – the best of the bunch will be up on the JTC notice boards next week as well as a few that made it to our matchday galleries.
