AEG Grassroots Challenge

AEG Grassroots Challenge

Graeme Phelan24 May 2013 - 12:35

Rugby legends Austin Healey and Will Greenwood have backed a campaign to make mud stained kit a thing of the past. Enter at www.facebook.com/AEG

This year’s competition will see 40 grassroots rugby teams across the country (junior and senior) receive a kit and laundry package
that includes 15 bespoke rugby kits, designed by the winning teams, as well as a top of the range AEG washing machine in time for the start of the 2013 season. In the initiative’s three years, AEG, the premium home appliance brand, has already provided grassroots clubs and schools with nearly 2000 full team kits.
Said Austin Healey: “It’s so important that AEG is continuing to
support grassroots rugby this year. We need to give youth teams
all the backing and support possible – they’re our future stars. The
prizes on offer are money-can’t buy opportunities and I urge every
team in the UK and Ireland to apply.”
AEG supplied hundreds of rugby kits in 2012 and one lucky club,
Winchester Colts, also received a training session with the England
rugby legends at their own club.
Lisa Hodgson from Winchester Colts said: “I would strongly
recommend that all grassroots teams enter. As well as winning a
once in a lifetime opportunity to train with their England heroes,
our team received a high-quality custom-made kit and an AEG
washing machine which meant that we’ve been able to use funds
normally spent on kit and laundry towards training and other
facilities for the club.”
