ENGLAND rugby legend Mike Tindall gave some top tips to teenagers at Abingdon Rugby Club.

He visited the club on Thursday night to present them with a new kit, courtesy of soft drink firm Lucozade.

The company selected Abingdon RFC to get the “ultimate kit-out surprise” and a visit from Mr Tindall thrown in.

He said: “It is really great to be involved in giving amateur teams the kit they need to perform at their best.

“Receiving the new kit at the start of the season was always an exciting moment for me and putting on the England shirt for the first time was an amazing feeling.”

Abingdon RFC’s Alex Lushington accepted the new kits on behalf of his club.

He said: “It’s nice to see Abingdon getting a bit of recognition. It has meant loads to the whole club and it’s been fantastic to meet a legend. I think as many teams as possible should get involved in kit-out; they get the chance to get their hands on some fantastic equipment.”

The soft drink company is handing out kits across the UK.
