Engage Mutual Charity Man of the Match Award explained
The Engage Mutual Charity Man of the Match Award was a scheme by which players judged man-of-the-match for games of the 2011 Super League season nominated charities to whom donations were made.
The Super League is top level professional rugby league club competition for clubs in Europe, as of 2019. The 2011 Super League season (known as the Engage Super League XVI for sponsorship reasons) was the sixteenth season of rugby league football since the Super League format was introduced in 1996.[1] In 2011 the league had fourteen teams: thirteen from England and one from France. In partnership with Sky Sports, Engage Mutual Assurance - title sponsor of the Super League - donated £100 to the Steve Prescott Foundation and £100 to a charity nominated by the Man of the Match, at all live televised Super League games. Over the full season, donations to a variety of charitable causes totaled over £12,000.
