Figure image

Leicester Tigers hosted their annual Junior Tigers Club takeover day at the weekend.

The day saw eight JTC members help out in areas spanning the whole club, from photographer to reporter and all the way through to groundsperson.

Youngsters really got stuck into the days activities and got the chance to meet a whole host of players along the way, enjoying selfies and collecting autographs from Tigers stars.

This included nine year old Sapphire getting to meet her favourite player, Dan Kelly, and Dan Cole getting to meet his no. 1 fan, ten year old Lily-Ella.

The club would like to extend their thanks to both BBC Radio Leicester and TNT Sport for each allowing someone to join them at the commentary desk and really embracing the day.

Finally, a huge thank you to the JTC members who took part, it was a pleasure working alongside you all!
