THE Vikings were celebrating their first sponsorship deal of their new Super League life last week with Spekehall Vauxhall.

The company, based on Speke Hall Road, has bought all the match-day programmes for the Vikings' Super League campaign, as well as pitch-side boards and additional advertising through the club.

Spekehall Vauxhall's Bob Picking made the new sponsorship deal with Harold Lynskey, the Vikings' general manager, on Monday, September 17.

Harold said: "Everyone at the club would like to thank Spekehall Vauxhall for the tremendous support it has given us through this sponsorship deal."
