Wexford GAA reveals new sponsor for underage competitions
For the last 21 years OmniPro has provided a range of consulting, training and support services for Irish accounting firms and their SME clients. OmniPro provide tax, company law, corporate finance, recruitment, technical support and profitability advisory to firms and their clients throughout Ireland. Based in Ferns, its CEO is Des O'Neill, whose family has a long-standing involvement in the GAA at all levels.
Des said: 'I see every week during the playing season the immense effort put in by players and their coaches alike, and how much taking part in these championships means to them'
'There's nothing quite like watching young hurlers and footballers playing with heart and determination, and all the while building teamwork, discipline, and character. It reminds us of why we love the games in the first place. I am delighted to be able to contribute to their journey.
'The children of today are our future. They are the foundation on which the GAA is built,' he added.
Cathaoirleach of Wexford GAA, John Kenny, has thanked Des and OmniPro for their support.
'This contribution is an investment in young people, their development, and their dreams,' he said. 'It will help us to continue a games programme that brings some 50 different Cup and Shield competitions each year. Not only does this games programme mean that each player has a title to aim for, but it also creates an environment where they can experience the joy of the games, build friendships, and learn valuable life lessons. We are very grateful for OmniPro support and how it enables us to continue to do this.'
John added his thanks to People Newspapers and the Irish Independent for their previous sponsorship of the competitions, and their ongoing great coverage of Gaelic games at all levels in the county.
'We are lucky to enjoy such a good relationship with the local media and I thank them sincerely for all the space they afford for match reports and other Gaelic games news each week,' he said.
This year's OmniPro Under-14 Championships are already under way, while the Under-16 and Minor Championships are to commence in the coming weeks, following the conclusion of State Exams.
