SOME of Oxfordshire's youngest rugby players will get to train alongside the legendary Leicester Tigers.

Grover RFC’s under 14s team will also get to appear on the hallowed turf at half-time in a Leicester game thanks to first aid specialists Firstaid4sport.

The company launched its Tigers Day Out competition to give youth clubs and teams across the country the chance to train alongside the Tigers.

Thanks to a nomination from their coach, the Grove team will now get to make their mark in front of professional trainers and players.

The under-14s' coach Lee Marsden said: "I would like to thank Firstaid4sport for running the competition and what will be a fantastic experience for the boys.

"This age is critical in their development and we lose boys to different things, meaning the squad can struggle for numbers but this will certainly keep their interest."

The contest will see the youngsters complete a 90-minute training session with the academy coach before the Leicester Tigers V Bath match on October 25.

They will meet the first team for a question and answer session, watch the entire match, and get out on the pitch for photos at half-time.

Firstaid4sport owner Michael Davison said: "This is a great opportunity for this young team to learn from the very best and access training at an elite level.

"The competition really embodies what we stand for; working with the best in the business to communicate that players of any age or standard should understand the importance of using high-quality first aid."
