The second year of the oneills.com sponsorship of the GAA U20 Hurling Championship was launched yesterday and promises to deliver a feast of hurling.
Following the success of last year’s tournament, with Kilkenny winning the final by a point to claim their 12th championship title overall and a first title since 2008, the tournament will again showcase some of the best young hurling talent from across the country.
This year’s championship will see 16 teams from all corners of Ireland compete for the coveted title.
The sponsors will have their new logo feature on the advertising boards at games and will have their TV sting feature on games shown on TG4 and GAAGo.
They will also have the brand featured on the smart sliotar being used throughout the tournament. Read more about the Smart Sliotar here.
“The Under 20 GAA All-Ireland Hurling Championship is an iconic competition in our calendar,” said Uachtarán CLG, Larry McCarthy.
“It is synonymous with great players, exciting matches and enthusiastic crowds flocking to see the next generation of outstanding hurling talent emerging.”
“The recent changes to the competition format have served only to heighten the level of competitiveness in this Championship. I am delighted that a leading brand such as oneills.com have partnered with the GAA to drive this success further and look forward to the exciting matches over the weeks to come.”
“We’re really excited about this year’s U20 Hurling Championship,” added Cormac Farrell, speaking on behalf of O’Neills.
“The tournament always produces some of the most exciting and talented hurlers in the country, and we cannot wait to see what this year’s group of young players has in store for us. We’re expecting a fantastic atmosphere at all the games, and we hope to see plenty of fans turning out to support their teams.”
