One of TJ's finest helped Lawrence Dallaglio enjoy a memorable day at Twickenham in June and proved that rugby dreams realy can come true.

Young TJ U10, Tom (aka "TK") Kendrick finally got to meet rugby super hero Lawrence Dallaglio at Twickenham. Tom was selected to take part in a training session and joined more than 100 children from across the country for the day to remember at the headquarters of English rugby on June 5.

The boys children were hand-picked by national coaches sent to rugby festivals to look for players displaying the core values of sportsmanship, discipline, teamwork, respect and enjoyment. Tom was spotted at the Sacla Rugby Festival held at Heathfield & Waldron RFC in East Sussex on Sunday (March 28). Hundreds of players aged between 10 and 16 took part in the rugby festival, which was also won by TJs.

"Going to Twickenham and meeting LOL was one of the best days of my life. We had a great training day with Lawrence and I enjoyed every minute of it." TK told tjrfc. "On a very hot day the drills and games were hard but satisfying and I can now tell friends and family that I scored my very first try at Twickenham ... but I guess that doesn't quite count just yet!"

It was a great day and a very hot one. The Kendrick clan went along to support TK and he was soon whisked away for a very intensive training session, split into about 6 groups, which went on from 10am to about 3pm.  Now I can't wait for start of the TJ's season"
