The Milk Cup has teamed up with sponsor Pernaton Gel to organise a nationwide 'Trip of a Lifetime' competition. It's no ordinary competition as the holiday destination will remain a mystery until Friday August 1; the day of this year's Milk Cup Final.

That evening just after 9.30pm, the referee will blow the final whistle in the last match of The 2008 Milk Cup. The winning 'Premier Section' team will be announced and the 'Trip of a Lifetime' destination will be revealed ~ the home country of the winning team.

The 'Trip of a Lifetime' competition really excites us. We have teams from 11 countries across the globe competing in the 'Premier section' this year. The 2007 champions were Fluminense AC; being able to offer the winner a VIP holiday to a destination such as Brazil is just fantastic' commented Jim Sandford of the Milk Cup.

'Trip of a Lifetime' competition entry forms are available in pharmacies and health food stores all over Ireland. Entry is free and open to all, and for those unable to visit their local Pernaton stockist, the entry form can be downloaded from www.pernaton-nireland.com or www.nimilkcup.org

'Anyone across the island of Ireland can enter the 'Trip of a Lifetime' competition. Last year, the players and their physiotherapists gave us such positive feedback to our muscle rub gel that we knew we should increase our involvement with the Milk Cup in 2008' commented Richard Jones of Pernaton.

The Milk Cup Pernaton 'Trip of a Lifetime' competition commences on May 30th. The closing date for final receipt of entry forms is July 29th. Further information on the competition is available on the Pernaton website, www.pernaton-nireland.com
