Microgaming enables sporting event to become firm fixture

Tuesday, 29 November 2016 00:00

Microgaming has been praised for helping school children on the Isle of Man get involved in sport.

The company sponsored this year's Community Games and has agreed to continue the support into 2017.

Next year's 'Microgaming Community Games' will take place on June 21st - secondary school students will take part in a number of activities with an emphasis on enjoyment rather than results.

The support is part of the company's 'PlayItForward' initiative - senior sport development officer Gianni Epifani says without outside support it would be difficult to facilitate the event:
