Football Association welcomes new Disability Ambassador

The Island's Football Association has appointed a new Disability Football Ambassador.

Pete Corkhill aims to drive the growth of a new recreational pan-disability football session, for boys and girls.

He's also been coaching the Special Olympics Isle of Man Football Team.

Commenting on his appointment, Pete says he's keen to explore how to develop a pathway for children with disabilities to start playing the sport earlier, even as young as five.

He adds that he's like to see them enjoy all the social benefits while developing a love for the game.
