The I&M Bank’s Team Manager, Godfrey Odoch said that his team is excited to be part of this year’s Corporate League once again.

Last year, we joined the League late and put up a tremendous performance. This year we have had ample time to prepare for the League and I assure you that this year, my team is ready to win the cup.

 Odoch also applauded the organizers of the Corporate League for giving the different entities an opportunity to battle each other through competitive sports in a supportive environment.

“The success of this League tournament over the years is a testimony of how the power of sport and business can come together to create a successful, inclusive and positive environment for everyone. I must say, it is a powerful vehicle for team building and networking outside the boardroom,” Odoch added.

This year’s Corporate League will see over 85 corporate entities competing in different sporting activities during the monthly outings slated to take place every last Sunday of the month.
