Digicel and Wisynco on Wednesday launched their second year as title sponsors of schoolboy football at Terra Nova All Suite Hotel in St Andrew.

The 2019 season is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, September 7 with seven Manning Cup games and 31 daCosta Cup matches.

The announcement was made by Keith Wellington,  president of the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA).

Digicel, in its second stint as title sponsors, last year announced that the telecommunications firm and entertainment provider would invest $75 million over three years in the urban area Manning Cup and Walker Cup Knockout competitions. Wisynco, then, announced a sponsorship package of close to $100 million, over the three years, in the rural area daCosta Cup and Ben Francis Knockout.

On Wednesday, Digicel handed over $25 million to ISSA for year two, while Wisynco made a presentation of $37 million.

This will be the second time that both the Manning Cup and daCosta Cup competitions will operate under separate sponsorship.
