AN offshore life company is continuing its support of football in the Isle of Man for another season.

Royal London 360° has agreed to sponsor the Under 11 League for the 2010-2011 season which started last Sunday, October 10.

The company has donated £1,500 in sponsorship which will go towards meeting the weekly playing costs for all teams in the league.

Around 350 children from 31 teams around the Island play in the league. 

Keir Morris, treasurer of the Isle of Man Junior Football League, said: "Royal London 360° was an active headline sponsor last season and I am thrilled the company is onboard again for 2010-2011.

"Their support enables more than 350 Island children to play football and maintain their fitness and social skills on a regular basis which is vital for their future development.

"I am looking forward to another successful season working together both on and off the football pitch."

Natalie Dutton, head of marketing at Royal London 360°, commented: "Football is a fantastic team sport for children to be involved in and I am happy that we are helping so many youngsters to get involved on a regular basis.

"I wish all of the teams playing the best of luck for a successful season." 

Royal London 360° began their sponsorship in 2009.
