44 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 13 MARCH 2016 GasanMamo shows dedicated support to Mosta FC youths GASANMAMO Insurance has been supporting the Mosta Football Club Youth Nursery for quite some years now and has continued showing its support during this season too. The sponsorship goes some way in providing financial stability for this Youth Nursery. "At GasanMamo Insurance, we strongly believe in helping youth de- velop through sports and the bene- ficial qualities that are derived from discipline and team play. We've been committed to Mosta FC for years now and we are very happy that we provide youth with a facility and values that converge with our own," said Mark Mamo, General Manager at GasanMamo Insurance. "Last season was one of our best seasons ever. Our Under 17 won the Youth FA Section A league for the first time and our Under 15 came in second in the Youth FA Section A league. We thank GasanMamo Insurance for their support which will help to continue to enhance the standard of all our players and give us the results that we work very hard to achieve," said Simon Henwood from Mosta FC Youth Nursery. The Mosta FC Youth Nursery was founded in season 1988/89 by Architect Ludovico Micallef (now Vice President of the Malta FA) and Norman Saliba, who at the time was the secretary to the Mosta Football Club. Since its in- ception the Mosta Nursery had an excellent set-up and was always professionally managed. It always fielded strong teams, especially in the under 15 and under 17 years categories.
