As part of the launch, Ginsters challenged some young aspiring players to a penalty kick competition, with Michael offering some ‘proper tips’ to each player.  Michael was also on hand to spot the best penalty of the day, awarding local Lisburn Rangers player, Josh Smyth aged nine, with an autographed NI shirt.

Mike Smith, Ginsters Marketing Director commented:  “We are passionate about football and are delighted to be an official partner of the Irish FA – allowing us to spread our love for the beautiful game into Northern Ireland.  As official Savoury Pastry Partner, we’re proud to be associated with a team and Manager that so evidently share our values of being honest, down to earth and dedicated.”
