HSBC, Principal Partner of the British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa this summer, is giving 15 youngsters from across the UK & Ireland a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to the Lions’ UK training camp and take part in a skills session with the 2009 Lions squad. 

The lucky youngsters from Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales, will become the HSBC Cubs and will be treated to a very special and memorable day in Surrey, England.

The children, accompanied by a guardian, will be given their very own team talk by Lions Head Coach Ian McGeechan before taking to the training pitch with the Lions squad including captain Paul O’Connell.

Those wishing to be selected as an HSBC Cub need to enter by midnight on Wednesday 13th May, be aged between eight and 14 as well as being available all day of Monday 18th May to travel to Surrey.

I have suggested a mechanic of let you know in no more than 100 words why they should be selected as an HSBC Cub but given the short notice its fine if you just want to ask a question or just get them to send in their names and ages? Conditions of the prize are below.
