‘The Next Generation Of Stars’

Phoenix ‘Olympic Flames’ Age Group Championships

The Northern Ireland & Ulster Age Group Championships takes place before the Senior Indoor Athletics Championships in the Odyssey Arena and this year we have teamed up with Phoenix Gas to support the future generation of stars. The event is jointly run by the Ulster Athletics Association and Northern Ireland Athletic Federation.

Competitors range from ages 13-17 and events include the 60m, 60 Hurdles, 800m, 1000m Walk, Long Jump, High Jump and Shot.

Phoenix Natural Gas is delighted to be supporting the 'Phoenix Olympic Flames' initiative at the upcoming Irish Indoor Athletic Championships at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Commenting, Richard Rodgers, Business Development Director for Phoenix said:

'Phoenix has now been operating for ten years in Northern Ireland and has grown from zero to over 100,000 natural gas consumers. Many of the competitors in the weekend's under-age athletics competitions have grown up from infancy during the same period and Phoenix is delighted to play its part in supporting this competition for talented local athletes, many of whom are aspiring to compete in the Olympic Games in London in 2012.

Phoenix has always strived to put something tangible back into the communities through which it has built its natural gas network. Further, Phoenix is currently supporting vulnerable children and their families through its 'Energy for Children Charitable Trust' for which over £100,000 has been raised over the past year. This new initiative represents another small element of support that we hope will go some way to helping local talent realise their dreams.'
