George shows his Power

 

By Mark Stevens

Exeter Chiefs fan George Cook has won himself a place at the upcoming Aviva Premiership final at Twickenham after he showed true 'Fan Power' at Sandy Park on Saturday.

George was one of a number of club supporters who took part in the special 'Trophy Lift-Off' that took place in and around the ground ahead of our top flight encounter with Leicester Tigers.

Set the challenge of holding aloft the official Aviva Premiership trophy, which weighs 15kg, George not only set the benchmark here in Devon, but he moved to the top of the standings in the overall leaderboard as he set a superb time of two minutes 22 seconds.

Not only did George's efforts put him top of the tree, but he was also able to hold out longer that TV presenter and former England international Martin Bayfield, who a few weeks earlier had posted a top target of 2:20.

As well as overcoming fellow fans and the efforts of Martin Bayfield, George was also able to hold out longer that our very own prop Ben Moon, who was set the same challenge during the corporate lunch.

George will now represent the Chiefs alongside representative of all the other Premiership clubs in the grand final at Twickenham on May 25.
