Scott scores a brand new Vauxhall Cascada for a year in Peter Vardy sponsored half-time kicking competition at Murrayfield
Scott Carruthers, an Insurance Agent for NFU Mutual, from Dalkeith, and a dedicated Scotland rugby fan, imitated the actions of his heroes on Saturday by winning the Peter Vardy half-time kicking competition during the interval of Saturday’s dramatic RBS 6 Nations Scotland v France game at Murrayfield.
By converting his kick from the 22 metre spot in front of thousands of fellow fans and answering the killer question correctly, Scott won the right to drive Vauxhall’s exciting new convertible, the Cascada, for a year.
The competition, in which three rugby fans competed to convert the place-kick, was sponsored by Peter Vardy, the rapidly-expanding Scotland-based car dealer, to celebrate its recently announced three year partnership deal with Scottish Rugby.
Scott said: “It’s nerve-wracking to run up for the kick in front of so many thousands of people but I was able to focus my concentration solely on getting the ball between the sticks and was delighted to win this fantastic car for a year.”
Peter Vardy, the company’s CEO, said: “Many congratulations go to Scott. He was under huge pressure to score, but he kept his head and succeeded when it counted.
“We are very pleased to reward him with twelve months’ access to the fantastic new Vauxhall Cascada which has already been causing a stir amongst customers in our five Vauxhall dealership across Scotland.
“The competition was held to celebrate our newly-established relationship with Scottish Rugby which we are providing with a fleet of Vauxhall vehicles to be used predominantly by its coaching staff to assist in the development and growth of the game at club and school level across Scotland”.
