Brady Family Ham last night announced the renewal of their deal to sponsor both the county footballers and hurlers in Kildare for the next three years. The Timahoe based company have been sponsoring Kildare GAA since 2013, and their renewal was greeted by great support from county board chairman Ger Donnelly and both new managers, Cian O'Neill and Joe Quaid.
John O'Brien, managing director of O'Brien's Fine Foods, stressed how important it is for Brady Ham to show their support to Kildare GAA. "We recognise as a company that it’s important to also support community activities in our locality beyond the business context. Kildare GAA is a family that positively influences communities’ right across the county and we are excited to announce our continued contribution to such a positive organisation”, he said.
County board chairman Ger Donnelly was similarly enthusiastic about the new deal. “This is a very exciting time for Kildare GAA with the appointment of both Cian O Neill and Joe Quaid who will look after matters on the field of play for the senior football and hurling teams respectively", he said.
"I am also very pleased that we have agreed a new 3 year sponsorship deal with our main sponsor Brady Family Ham, which is a Kildare-based well established business. I feel Kildare GAA is now in a strong position to challenge for honours in the various provincial and national competitions in 2016 and beyond.”
New senior football manager Cian O'Neill also welcomed the new deal, stating that it helps provide stability for the county side.
"It’s great to see that Kildare GAA has secured another three years of sponsorship from a nationally recognised business in Brady Family Ham, which gives that side of things stability and continuity. It allows us to get on with the job of driving forward Kildare football on the field of play”, he said.
