CIS to continue sponsorship of Irish League Cup
Northern Ireland football has been given a boost with the news that the Co-operative Insurance Society (CIS) is to continue its sponsorship of the Irish Football League Cup.
CIS has signed an extension deal following a successful first season last year which saw Belfast's football giants Linfield beat cross town rivals Glentoran 2-1 to win the competition.
Commenting on the new deal, Martin Clarke, CIS’s general manager of marketing, said: "We’re delighted to renew the CIS Insurance Cup sponsorship and look forward to another highly successful and rewarding association with the Irish Football League.
“The Irish League Cup is a superb addition to our sponsorship portfolio. CIS values its business and customers in Northern Ireland and we are very pleased to be involved with this prestigious competition.
"The tournament last year was a resounding success and we’re confident that this year will be no exception. That’s our goal and we’ll be committing ourselves wholeheartedly to the venture."
Besides its Irish League Cup deal, CIS sponsors the Scottish League Cup and as part of its social accountability programme, organises and participates in grassroots football initiatives throughout the UK.
