“Following its absence in 2021, it was wonderful to watch the excellent standard of hurling on offer in this year’s Electric Ireland Higher Education GAA Championships. These players contributed to some fantastic moments for their 3rd level institutions over the last few months and we look forward to celebrating their achievements at a formal ceremony later in the year.”
“2022 was another exceptional season and it’s a pleasure to be able to continue our support of these Championships and players,” added Sarah Sharkey, Brand, PR and Sponsorship Manager at Electric Ireland.
