The Royal Navy Rugby Union is on the look-out for a mascot to lead the Dark Blues out in the biggest Services rugby fixture of the season.

The Navy take on the Army at Twickenham on Saturday May 3, and the Navy mascot for the day will again be selected through a competition.

The lucky winner will, with his or her parents, be invited to join the Royal Navy squad. Mum and Dad will be invited to lunch in the Royal Navy box, and the mascot will spend time with the team talking tactics.

The chosen mascot, kitted out in full RN kit, will then lead the Navy players out on to the hallowed turf of Rugby Union Headquarters.

Team photos, featuring the mascot, will be taken before the 3pm kick-off, and during the game the mascot will sit on the Navy bench, running on to the pitch with water for the players during breaks in the play.

Last year’s game attracted 42,000 spectators, and it is hoped there may be even more this year.

Any youngster, interested in rugby or not, is eligible between the ages of eight and 12.

The question you need to answer correctly to have a chance of going into the hat for this prize is:
Who won the Army v Navy game of 2002?

Answers on a postcard, with your own name, age and contact details, to: Lt Cdr Charlie Neve, Room 119, West Battery, Whale Island, Portsmouth PO2 8DX.

Answers must be received before Friday April 4. Good luck!
