ELECTRIC IRELAND ARE the new title sponsors of the All-Ireland camogie minor championships, and the camogie third-level championships, as part of a new three-year partnership announced on Thursday.
The utilities provider has sponsored the GAAโs minor championships in football and hurling since 2012, and the GAA Higher Education championships since 2017.
Electric Ireland will also sponsor the Camogie Associationโs โHurl With Meโ initiative, a four-week programme aimed at introducing seven- to ten-year-old girls and their parents to the basic skills of the game.
Camogie Association president Hilda Breslin said that Electric Ireland has already shown its โcontinued passion for supporting youth and the development of young playersโ through its partnerships with the GAA.
โIt is exciting to now see this support extended to our young camogie players.โ
Electric Ireland executive director Pat Fenlon said that the partnership will โbring these competitions to life and highlight the incredible talent of young camogie players across Irelandโ.
On the โHurl With Meโ programme, Fenlon added: โWe want to create an excitement and energy in the sport from a young age.โ
Good article
Excellent article. A must read for any young players.
Well done Gavin.
Great article
The standard of our underage football in the country is key, good players will flourish wherever they go. What is important is that they are well coached and developed as footballers. The emphasis should always be on playing the right way rather than winning. Not easy of course but this is what other countries have done, Belgium, Portugal. And if there are more options out there than England so much the better. What an experience for a young person to spend a year or two (if thatโs what it works out as) on the continent.
John Delaney is gone
I love these articles
I used to never miss a Bohemians game in Dalymount in the 70โs before leaving Dublin. Each home game there were kids from a school invited to attend and it was announced before the game.
Very good read. More analysis like this please.
A very good article, but its not Irish football , it is Irish soccer
