Kilkenny Camogie and Glanbia kick off new three-year partnership

Kilkenny Camogie and Glanbia have kicked off their new three-year partnership as the first round of the 2024 All Ireland Camogie Championship season approaches, with the senior team taking on Limerick on May 25 in the opening clash.

Under the new deal, Glanbia is the official sponsor of Kilkenny’s senior, intermediate, minor and u-16 county camogie teams, with all Kilkenny jerseys and leisurewear carrying the Glanbia brand. 

Glanbia will also provide its world-leading Optimum Nutrition range of sports nutrition products to Kilkenny’s senior camogie teams, supporting nutrition and recovery throughout the season. 

“We are proud to extend our partnership with Kilkenny Camogie through this new sponsorship, supporting this thriving sport across the county," said Glanbia’s Director of Corporate Affairs, Martha Kavanagh.

"As a better nutrition company, we are passionate about fuelling performance and supporting recovery for female athletes all over the world. We are especially proud to be able to support these talented and committed teams in our local community. We wish the players at all levels and the management every success for the year ahead.” 

Captain of Kilkenny Camogie’s Senior Team, Aoife Prendergast added: “Support is a huge enabler for our team, driving us on and motivating us to reach our potential. We can’t do this on our own. Having a committed sponsor like Glanbia helps provide us with support, resources and visibility. We in turn train hard, focus on our nutrition and play to the very best of our ability. We are committed to performing to our very best to inspire young camogie players in every community.”|
