Flogas, one of Ireland’s leading energy providers, has become the official energy partner of Cricket Ireland.
The deal will enable Ireland’s 150 clubs north and south of the border to get preferential rates when it comes to energy supply at their venues, and also strengthens the commercial hand of the sport’s governing body as it prepares for its busiest ever year
“As Ireland’s only all-Ireland supplier of both LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and Natural Gas, we are uniquely place to meet the energy needs of Cricket Ireland’s 150 constituent clubs, whether they are on or off the Natural Gas grid, North or South, said John Rooney, Managing Director of Flogas at the company’s head office in County Louth.
“As an Irish-founded and Irish-owned company, we are eagerly supporting the senior men’s team competing in the upcoming ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.”
“We look forward to working alongside them and the Cricket Ireland team in helping to grow the sport into the future.”
Warren Deutrom, Chief Executive, Cricket Ireland, welcomed the partnership agreement saying: “Cricket Ireland are delighted to welcome Flogas on board as the latest addition to the Cricket Ireland Commercial Programme as our new Official Energy Partner.
“Flogas are an all-Ireland brand which we believe will benefit many of our clubs with reduced energy costs into the future. The timing couldn’t be better as Cricket Ireland embark on an unprecedented year of activity in 2015 both at home and abroad. 2015 will no doubt enable Flogas to form a deeper connection with Irish Cricket which is growing at an unprecedented rate.”
Cricket Ireland signed a partnership with Ireland.com last month ahead of the Senior Men’s team s departure to play in the Cricket World Cup which gets underway later this month.
