“This sponsorship, combined with our sponsorship of the All-Ireland Club Championships and the National Volunteer awards, is an indication of our commitment to supporting local, regional and national sport at the heart of our culture and community.
“Together with the TG4 All-Ireland Junior, Intermediate and Senior Finals at Croke Park on Sunday, we are in for a fantastic weekend of sport, camaraderie and competition.
“On Saturday, at St Sylvester’s and Naomh Mearnóg, we are looking forward to some very exciting and competitive games.”
Mícheál Naughton, President of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, commented: “The Covid-19 pandemic meant that we could not hold our All-Ireland Club 7s in 2020 and 2021 but we’re back this year and with a new sponsor in currentaccount.ie, the current account from your credit union, who also sponsor our National Volunteer awards and our All-Ireland Club Championships.
“currentaccount.ie came on board with us during the pandemic in 2020, which was an incredible show of faith in Ladies Football and at a challenging time for sport and business.
“I wish to thank them most sincerely for their support to date, and I wish continued success to CEO Seamus Newcombe and the entire currentaccount.ie team.
“currentaccount.ie provide a wonderful service to Credit Union members around the country and they have been an excellent partner to the Ladies Gaelic Football Association. “For the 2022 currentaccount.ie All-Ireland Club 7s, we are back at the traditional home of the tournament – the St Sylvesters and Naomh Mearnóg clubs. We’ve always been provided with a warm welcome there and the facilities available are top class.”
