Maxxis Supports Grass Roots Football

Following on the from the company’s three-year deal with Liverpool FC, sponsorship of the 2009 Isle of Man TT Races, ongoing role as title sponsor of the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship and increased involvement in professional drifting tend to make the biggest headlines, Maxxis has reiterated grass roots sport.

At the end of June the company announced it has sponsored two Kenilworth Wardens youth teams, which play matches every Sunday in the Mid-Warwickshire Football Leagues. Last season the Under-9s were among 66 teams competing in the Mid-Warwickshire Junior Football League and they finished fourth in Division 1 and made the quarter final stage of the League Cup.

Meanwhile, the Kenilworth Wardens Under-13 team was one of 99 teams playing in the Mid-Warwickshire Boys Football League. They were runners up in the League, after a highly competitive campaign, and then rounded off an excellent season by finishing runners up in the League Cup too.

“The stars of tomorrow have to start somewhere and we are delighted to do our bit to help teams like these young footballers, who demonstrate a real aptitude, ability and enthusiasm for their chosen sport,” says Maxxis UK managing director Derek McMartin.
