Young Fan Takes On The Blues With The Help Of Mercury Energy

Seven year old Beachlands boy Luke McLennan’s rugby dreams will come true this weekend when he and a team of mates get to take on the Blues in the Mercury Energy Rugby Club’s ‘Backyard Footy’ competition.

As the winner of Mercury Energy’s ‘Backyard Footy’ competition, Luke gets to name the venue for a friendly game between his team and a mini squad of eight Blues players followed by an after match barbeque with his heroes. He’ll also receive a signed personalised Blues jersey as a memento.

Luke’s chosen venue is his local Beachlands/Maraetai RFC and a mixture of friends and team mates will be taking to the field to take on the Blues on Saturday (May 22).
The excited young rugby fan was ecstatic when he heard the news. “I’m a huge fan of the Blues and can’t wait to meet the team and get them to sign my jersey.”

The Mercury Energy Rugby Club gives Mercury Energy customers exclusive access to special deals and discounted tickets at Blues, Auckland and North Harbour games. Members can also enter to win fantastic money-can’t-buy experiences – such as ‘Backyard Footy’.

At the beginning of the Rebel Sport Super 14 season, Mercury Energy Rugby Club donated over 35,000 free mouthguards to all junior registered players in the Auckland and North Harbour region.

The Mercury Energy Rugby Club makes it easier for its members to support their team with fantastic discounts on tickets and stadium catering. Offers include a discounted family pass to the Mercury Energy Family Area at Eden Park. Rugby Club membership costs only $1 a month, added to the members’ Mercury Energy bill.
