Celton Manx is extending its support of the Senior Men’s National Football Team for the 2012/13 season. Celton Manx is the locally based operator of SBOBET.com and it is SBOBET that the senior men’s kit has been branded with for the past two years.

Executive Director Bill Mummery and Head of Business Development Mike Stanton, attended the quarter final of the FA Inter League against Liverpool County last weekend at the Bowl to see their team in action. The FA Inter League Cup is run by the Football Association to provide an English representative in the UEFA Regions’ Cup. The Isle of Man national team won the competition in 2006 and went on to represent England in the Regions’ Cup.

A record 1,300-strong crowd were there to cheer on the Manx team, in the most remarkable weather conditions, to a 5-3 victory. The Manx team looked to be out of the competition at half-time trailing 0-3 but made an amazing comeback to reach the semi-finals of the cup.

Executive Director of Celton Manx, Bill Mummery said: ‘Despite the torrid weather conditions on Saturday it was great to see so many people out supporting our Manx National Team. We are very proud to be able to sponsor our talented local team and the quality shown on the pitch was fantastic. Both teams played with a level of sportsmanship that is often sadly lacking in modern football, it was a pleasure to watch.  I am looking forward to the semi-finals and hopefully seeing our team go all the way and lift the cup!’

Frank Stennett, Chief Executive Officer of the Isle of Man Football Association said: ‘We were delighted that Celton Manx and SBOBET has agreed to continue its sponsorship of the Senior Men’s Representative Team for this season. It really is tremendous news and is very much appreciated by all the squad players and indeed the directors on the board here at the IOMFA.

‘Saturday’s match showed the amount of support we have in the Island and the quality of our team. I am very excited for the semi-finals and the other competitions the team will be involved in this year.’

The semi-final tie will be played against Southern Amateur League on Saturday 24th March at the Bowl, Douglas with a 3-00pm kick-off . 

To get your tickets please contact Ann Garrett at the IOMFA on 615576.
