During half-time of Harlequins 31-12 victory over Newcastle Falcons on Saturday 25th April, the Twickenham Stoop crowd witnessed the Etihad Airways Rugball Challenge Grand Final - the supporters' showdown rugby game, where fans from each team go head to head.
The battle is all about enjoyment, honour, bragging rights, and who has the most talented rugby fans! The competition has been running over every match day at the Stoop this season and culminated in the grand final held on 'Abu Dhabi Day'.
Quins fans won their original Rugball Challenge at the Harlequins Vs Scarlets match back in January and faced the winners from The Big Game on 27th December, who were Leicester fans. Although the scores were tied at 3-3 after all 20 balls were used, the Quins fans emerged victorious after completing their task in the quicker time. As their prize Quins fans Ben Lamb and Pippa Bennett-Warner will now be flown away as the Ultimate Rugball champions for a 3 night holiday to Abu Dhabi with Etihad Airways.
Congratulations to Ben and Pippa, have a great holiday in Abu Dhabi.
We hope all Quins fans enjoyed watching the Etihad Airways Rugball Challenge this season!!!
