MILO Junior Rugby Registration weekend a hit
05/03/2010

Clubs around Auckland opened their doors officially over the weekend as the MILO Junior Rugby Registrations marked the beginning of the junior rugby season.

The MILO goodie bags handed out to each player registering had a variety of handy items including a rugby ball, drink bottle and for the first time this season a Mercury Energy junior mouthguard.

As a special bonus, members of the Blues were on hand at a few of the clubs to make the experience that much more enjoyable for these feature stars.

Ian Hyland – Manukau Rovers:

“MILO packs were a hit, We registered about 120 players players. We expect to do at least do that again over the next couple of months. The Blues boys (George Pisi & Liaki Moli) were excellent”

Russell and Fran Geddes – Suburbs RFC:

“Thank you for the fantastic MILO packs, please pass on our appreciation to Nestle.  No excuse for no mouthguards or dehydration this season we hope!  The nutrition and rehydration information is valuable too, I only hope the players let the parents read it if they don't themselves!”

Bella Brame – Waitakere City RFC:

“Thanks very much for the presence of Anthony Tuitavake and Isaia Toeava during our registrations on Saturday. All the kids were rapt with meeting them and having the opportunity to have photos taken.

Our parents were very thankful for the MILO packs, especially the mouth guard and drink bottle that were supplied. Needless to say the kids just thought it was cool, great stuff', MILO rules.”

The Junior Rugby Registration is an ongoing process so if you missed out on the opening weekend do not fret. Most clubs will be open during the weeknights and every weekend so just make contact with the local club to ascertain when these times are.
