Who's the fastest Wellington club rugby player?

The competition's leading pace merchants, excluding players from the HOBM and Wainuiomata Jubilee Cup teams, will once again lace up their rocket boots on Finals Day this coming Sunday in the Vodafone Club Rugby Sprint for the right to be crowned Wellington club rugby's quickest player.

Clubs have been invited to present their fastest man at the starter's whistle in full playing kit in the in-goal of the Hutt Recreation Ground for a length-of-the-field sprinting race, to take place just prior to the start of the Jubilee Cup final which kicks off at 3.00 pm.

All Senior clubs have been invited to participate. The Wellington Rugby Referees' Association is also expected to enter their fastest referee. The media is holding trials at a secret location later this week.

It is understood at this early stage that defending champion Mike ‘Fast' Wilson will be back to defend his title. Having played several Hardham Cup matches of late, we can confirm that Fast Mike's in top form and he will take some stopping on Sunday.

Prizes for the Vodafone Club Rugby Sprint are:

• First: A Vodafone Samsung Galaxy phone
• Second: A Tui Prize pack -Tui Jacket, Queen-sized Duvet set, Tui Mug, Dozen Tui Beer
• Third: Two tickets to an upcoming Wellington Lions match.
