Bonus point victory for the Tigers!

Figure image
JTC Members enjoyed a visit from Tom Price and Tommy Bell on Friday, before the Tigers secured a bonus point 40-23 win against Scarlets!Tom Price and Tommy Bell came down to play games and have photos with JTC members ahead of the Tigers v. Scarlets game last Friday!   A special Q&A with both players revealed that they both like to chill out and have a good meal of pasta or chicken before a game. They also love to practice kicking at training and challenge each other to hit the cross bar. Both of them hope Manu will be back in March, we all have our fingers crossed to see him back on the pitch soon!   They also had the honour of helping us draw our lucky winners for matchday mascot, Tigers Cubs and Challenge Welford. Ben, Olivier, Jean, Joseph and Tom were our lucky Tiger Cubs and they got to go on the pitch with Welford to score a try in front of our cheering Crowd. Meanwhile, Caleb Wiggan and Sean Horobin got to run out with Ben Youngs as our matchday mascot for the day and Connor Bennett got the chance to “Challenge Welford” in our first ever big screen higher or lower game!   As our Challenge Welford competitor, Connor went head to head against Welford in our unique half-time competition. Despite loads of help from the audience, Welford only managed to get 2 out of 5 and Connor aced his round with an epic score of 5 out of 5. Connor won his very own JTC t-shirt and a £25 next gift voucher.

We’d also like to send Ethan Horobin a special Happy Birthday message! He celebrated his 7th Birthday in JTC last Friday and we hope you he had a great day with his friends and family.   If you would like to be a matchday mascot, Tiger Cub or to Challenge Welford at half time at home games, make sure you come down to the JTC VIP Area during the 2 hours before kick off and put your name in to the ballott. The next home game is on Saturday, January 31 against Northampton Saints with a 3pm kick-off. The JTC VIP Area will be open from 1pm so make sure you come down and make the most of the free activities!   See you soon!
