What they said about the day………

Shaun Connell – Business Enterprise Fund, “We are delighted to sponsor the OIAM Charity 5-A-Side Football Tournament, a competition that brings together businesses from across the city. While all teams compete to wrestle the winner’s trophy from the OIAM team, we recognise that the real winners are the children and young people who are impacted by the important work OIAM facilitate. As sponsors, we thank all the teams for the good spirit in which they competed and the OIAM admin team for their excellent organisation. We congratulate the OIAM team for their successful defence of the tournament trophy. We also encourage businesses from across the city to support the fundraising activities of this excellent local charity”.
