Henry Massingham was the lucky winner of Unison’s competition which saw the lines company fly one lucky rugby fan into the Magpies’ last home game by helicopter.

Unison offered one young rugby fan the opportunity to arrive at McLean Park in the Lowe Corporation Rescue Helicopter and sit on the Magpies’ reserve bench for the Hawke’s Bay vs Counties Manakau Steelers game on Sunday 21 August.

5 year old, Henry Massingham from Havelock North was the lucky winner and his father, George Massingham, said that it was an experience his son would never forget.

"Henry had a superb day, to put it mildly. It was an amazing experience and he was the proudest little boy at school the next day, it was unbelievable."

Unison’s Marketing Coordinator, Jamie-Lee Patchett said that Unison was delighted to be able to partner two of its major sponsorships to offer the opportunity.

"Seeing Henry’s huge smile when he exited the helicopter showed us that the competition was well worth it. The experience was very rewarding for us on the ground too."

Young fans could enter online by answering three questions about Unison’s Game of the Week on its rugby website, www.unisonrugbyzone.co.nz, to be in the draw.
