EirGrid, the Official GAA Timing Sponsor, is offering clubs all across the country the chance to win a digital clock and scoreboard for their pitches.
Clubs who complete a simple entry process will be entered into a draw with one club per province being chosen as the winners.
The total value of the prizes amounts to €25,000 and marks EirGrid’s continuing commitment to its GAA sponsorship portfolio.
EirGrid was recently announced as the first ever Official GAA Timing Sponsor. The state owned company, manages the National Electricity Grid has also sponsored the EirGrid GAA Football U21 Football All-Ireland Championship for the past two seasons and also sponsored last year’s EirGrid International Rules Series.
“We are delighted to launch this competition today giving much needed support to clubs and further strengthening our ties with the GAA communities around the country,” said EirGrid Director of External Affairs Rosemary Steen
“It was an historic first for the GAA when EirGrid came on board as Official GAA Timing Sponsor and it’s important that we bring that partnership to life. We believe this is another step in doing just that in a very authentic way.”
“EirGrid have been a very proactive sponsor since first taking over the title sponsorship of the U-21 Football Championship,” added GAA Commercial Director Peter McKenna.
“They have continued in that vein with their work with the International Rules Series and now as Official GAA Timing Sponsor.”
“We work closely with all our sponsors to ensure the projects they become involved in are the right fit and when EirGrid brought this competition to us we immediately felt it made perfect sense.
Eirgrid operates its main control centre from Dublin and also has a regional office in Mayo so the buzz around the country is sure to be intense in the run up to next week’s All Ireland football final.
The last time the two counties met in the Final it came down to a single point and controversy over the amount of extra time played. Eirgrid will be hoping for just as much of a focus on the clock next Sunday.
