Young fans can join the JTC 1st XV

Figure image
Club mascot Welford had picked three more names for the Junior Tigers Club 1st XV and there is another chance to join the line-up by attending this Friday's pre-season fixture against the Ospreys.

We are looking for 15 Junior Tigers to form our exclusive JTC 1st XV in the build-up to Tigers In The Park and the home game in the league season, against Wasps on Saturday, September 10.
 
Young fans Noah and Erin Sandham-Bailey, Jessica Taylor, and Emily and James Freeman have already secured their places and now Welford has added three more names to the line-up.
 
In a caption competition run in the JTC email newsletter known as The Splat, the winners have been identified as Annabelle Pick, Jake Ariss and Daniel Holmes. Well done!
 
Checkout their winning entries to the photo of Ben Youngs and Owen Williams in action during last season:
 
Annabelle said: “I don’t want to worry you Ben, but you’ve got a caption competition growing out the back of your head!”

Jake’s caption was:
Ben – "I bet you I can kick this penalty into touch from here"
Owen – "I bet you a sherbet dip dab you can't

Daniel’s caption: “Hey Ben... Ben! What do I do with this?... When does the bird hatch?
 
Now Welford is looking for more young fans to join the line-up and this week we’re organising a colouring competition in the JTC area of Final Whistle ahead of kick-off in the match against the Ospreys. Come and see us, who knows, you could be in our JTC 1st XV for the start of the season!
 
The Junior Tigers Club is supported by The Nottingham Building Society and retailers next, and offers great activities for young fans on matchdays at Welford Road as well as exclusive news and competitions in their Splat email newsletter.
