A football tournament held in memory of Jamie Haslett has raised a record £3,640 to support the work of Victim Support Isle of Man.

Jamie, from the Isle of Man, was just 19 when he tragically died after being struck by a South Yorkshire Police car in October 2010.

At the time, he was in his second year studying sport and business management at Sheffield Hallam University.

Fifteen years on, the memorial football tournament held in Jamie’s name continues to grow, bringing together friends, family, and the wider community to celebrate his life while supporting a cause that helps others through incredibly difficult times.

This year’s event, held in Laxey, saw 22 teams take part, including, for the first time, teams from Special Olympics Isle of Man.

Jamie, a former student at St Ninian's High School, was also a member of Laxey AFC

The winners were Crelly’s Dellys, who had finished runners up for the past two years.

Lorna Trevethan, Chief Executive of Victim Support Isle of Man, said: ‘The 15th Annual Jamie Haslett Memorial Football tournament was a great success.

‘22 teams entered, including teams from the Special Olympics Isle of Man who entered for the first time.

‘There were some very competitive matches and congratulations to Crelly’s Dellys on being this year’s champions!’

‘The tournament has grown year on year into a full family event with plenty of activities both on and off the pitch.

‘The day is a great way for the Haslett family and friends to celebrate Jamie’s life.’

"We are very grateful to iQ Premium Apple Reseller Isle of Man for the donation of our first prize of a Yellow iPad and to everyone who sourced and donated prizes.

‘The money makes a massive difference to Victim Support Isle of Man and allows us to continue to provide support to anyone who needs it.

‘We look forward to holding the event again next year.’
