Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, is delighted to announce that it will be sponsoring Ramsey Youth Centre & Old Boys (RYCOB) for yet another season.

RYCOB has been sponsored by Microgaming since the 2006/07 season and the sponsorship package assists the club with funding for the purchase of the latest sporting equipment and use of their training facilities in Ramsey. In addition, the teams have also been provided with a newly designed kit for the 2012/13 season.

Mark Christian, First Team Manager of RYCOB, comments: “Microgaming’s sponsorship has been incredibly helpful to the club. The company is very active with its sponsorship, from helping us organise fundraising events to designing our new football kit, which we are all delighted with. Microgaming’s support generously extends to helping our younger players with grant assistance, enabling members the chance to travel abroad to further develop their footballing skills. We are extremely grateful to Microgaming for their loyal support over such an extended period and for their hands-on approach, which is proving invaluable.”

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming adds: “To be able to sponsor RYCOB for the seventh consecutive season is a real pleasure for us. The new kit looks fantastic and we wish the football club the best of luck with the season ahead.”

RYCOB, who train at Lezayre Road, Ramsey, has over 120 members, with players ranging from 5 to senior level. The club has two Senior teams as well as an Under-13 and Under-11 team, all of which take part in league matches.
