Big Boot best score for 2017/18 season

A team from Old Laurentians RFC in Rugby ended 2017/18 with the season’s best score in The Ultimate Big Boot at Welford Road.

Sponsored by De Montfort University, the Ultimate Big Boot allows groups to test their skills in front of a big Leicester Tigers crowd, challenging them to catch balls fired high into the sky as part of the half-time entertainment on a Tigers matchday.

Old Laurentians set a season’s best of eight catches from 10 attempts at half-time in the January fixture between Tigers and French visitors Racing 92.

Josh Russell was among the group and said: "It feels awesome to get the top score. It was cold and wet out there and the Big Boot machine was struggling to fire the balls high, but we kept our eyes on it and we’ve been told that’s the best score so we’re really pleased.”

There is an Ultimate Big Boot jackpot prize for any team that can claim a full set of 10 catches, starting at £2,000.

The Ultimate Big Boot is available to Tigers group bookings. Participants must be aged 14 or over. All participants receive a Big Boot T-shirt as a souvenir. For more information, phone the Tigers Group Days team on 0116 2171 216.
