The sponsorship includes all Kilkenny teams and continues to be performance bonus related. As in recent seasons, the Kilkenny team jersey will carry the Avonmore milk logo while all leisure wear, training tops and kit bags will carry the overall Glanbia logo.
Speaking at the launch, Brian Phelan, CEO Glanbia Nutritionals (pictured second from left above) expressed his delighted at being able to continue the team’s sponsorship.
“Glanbia are delighted to be launching this year’s sponsorship with Kilkenny. Our sponsorship of Kilkenny is one of the longest running GAA partnerships as well as being one of the most successful.”
‘”The sponsorship is an ideal fit for Glanbia with nutrition at our core and specifically for Ireland’s number 1 milk brand, Avonmore. I want to thank County Board Chairman, Ned Quinn and his fellow County Board officers, Brian Cody and his management team and all the players for their help and support over the years to us as team sponsors and I wish them every success in 2017″.
The aforementioned Ned Quinn was in equal delight at the continued partnership.
“We in Kilkenny GAA are delighted to have a company like Glanbia as our team sponsors. We have an excellent working relationship with them and with the huge costs now involved in running our county teams it would be impossible to prepare them to the level required without the generous support of Glanbia”.
