Saturday's semi-final win over Harlequins means Tigers are heading down to the Aviva Premiership Final on Saturday, May 25 against Northampton Saints in a East Midlands Derby.

Tigers claimed four tries in a 33-16 semi-final victory over defending champions Harlequins at Welford Road and are heading to Twickenham for a ninth successive Premiership Final.

Vereniki Goneva, Niall Morris, Tom Croft and Mathew Tait claimed the tries, Tait also received the Aviva man-of-the-match honours.  Cockerill said,"The supporters have been awesome again, they always play their part for the team and now they've got another big day to look forward to.


In the JTC VIP area everyone was very excited for the game and also to see if they were a lucky winner of a signed Tigers home shirt. Michael Noone and Lucas Guillaume joined us in the JTC VIP area, where they whipped up your favorite Crusha milkshakes and answered your questions. Did you know Michael’s dream car is a Ferrari!? It was great to see so many JTC members with their face painted as a Tiger, check out the JTC gallery to see if you were snapped on Saturday. http://www.leicestertigers.com/fans/jtc/galleries.php


We had two lucky JTC mascots this week. We held a competition on the Tigers website to find Welford and Tyler James was the lucky winner and Hayden Cottle was picked out the ballet by Michael Noone on matchday in the JTC VIP area. They both got the chance to run out onto the Welford Road pitch with Leicester Tigers captain Toby Flood. Our Tiger Cubs were amazing and copied Welford's new dance moves around the pitch as well as scoring a try in front of the roaring crowd!


We hope to see you at the Final on Saturday 25th May at Twickenham against Northampton Saints, Kick off 3pm. Come on Tigers! Keep and eye out for the fortnightly splat on a Wednesday
