The Prima Tiger Cup is still going strong

Leicester Tigers are excited to announce the four festival dates and venues for this season’s Prima Tiger Cup.

Thanks to the continued support of Prima Solutions Ltd, one of the club’s longest-serving sponsors, this popular junior rugby event for under-10s teams representing clubs across the Tigers region is preparing for kick-off in its 28th year.

The Prima Tiger Cup is one of rugby’s biggest and longest-standing junior events with thousands of youngsters representing scores of clubs gaining experience in it since its inception in the 1994/95 season – making this even older than elite rugby’s European Cup!

The format for this season kicks off in November with four regional festivals:

  • Sunday, November 7 – Lichfield RUFC – Staffordshire
  • Sunday, November 14 – Newark RFC – Notts Lincs & Derbys
  • Sunday, November 21 – Holt RFC – Norfolk
  • Sunday, November 28 – Syston RFC – Leicestershire

Following the festivals, selected teams will be invited to the home of the Tigers at Mattioli Woods Welford Road to play at one of rugby’s most iconic stadiums.

Match rules take into account the RFU Age Grade guidelines amended during the Covid period while also reflecting true Tigers values of the game.

Scott Clarke, Tigers community manager, said: “John Norman and his team at Prima Solutions have continued to support Tigers and the work we do in developing the community game for nearly three decades and through the Prima Tiger Cup they have always focused on creating opportunities for youngsters to participate in exciting and positive experiences with the Tigers.

“We are delighted that they are able to continue to provide that support even in our toughest times to ensure the Prima Tiger Cup continues to build on its amazing history.

“Confirming their support for the next two seasons ensures young players will receive their first experience of playing in a Tigers event and potentially running out at Mattioli Woods Welford Road.

“We know that some players have come all the way through from that first experience to reach first-team status with the Tigers while appreciating that, first and foremost, this provides an amazing experience and positive memory for young players to share with friends and family, all thanks to John and everyone at Prima Solutions.”
