ALDI, as the Official Fresh Food Partner of Irish Rugby, launched the competition in January. It gave schools the chance to win a life-changing sports facility makeover worth €50,000 by simply collecting ALDI Play Rugby stickers.

Shoppers received one sticker for every €25 spent and a completed poster with 300 stickers earned each school an entry into the draw.
