The Junior Blues are to sponsor the match ball in Saturday's Linfield v Limavady United Irish League game.

It is the third year in a row that the Junior Blues have assisted Linfield financially in this manner.

After the game the Junior Blues will be presented with a signed Linfield ball as a souvenir of the sponsorship arrangement.

A draw will take place at the Junior Blues Christmas lunch on Saturday, 11 December to determine which lucky Junior Blues member will be taking home the signed ball.

This financial support of Linfield is in addition to the kit sponsorship of Pat McShane in this his well deserved Testimonial season.

These monies were raised in a sponsored event on the Windsor Park pitch in March 2004.
