Island soccer camp hailed a success

A soccer camp on Island run by Football League Championship side Blackburn Rovers has been hailed a success.

Coaches from the club's Community Trust made another visit to Manx shores throughout last week to give training sessions for boys and girls in partnership with Douglas Royals Football Club at Ballafletcher Sprots Centre.

Around 50 youngsters were able to attend and able to benefit from education-based session in what was described as 'fantastic conditions'.

The occasion has also been seen as a chance to further the relations between Rovers and Douglas Royals with hopes to hold more events in the coming months.
