Kilkenny sports clubs - don't miss out on this opportunity for funding!

Kilkenny’s Marble City Boxing Club, 2022 winners in the Texaco Support for Sport initiative

Former Irish rugby international, Donncha O’Callaghan, has issued a call to sports clubs in Kilkenny reminding members that the countdown is on to the January 31 closing date by which applications for a €5,000 award under the Texaco Support for Sport initiative must be made.

Noting the benefit to be gained by the award, the popular broadcaster and adjudicator confirmed that “entry is open to all clubs irrespective of sporting discipline, size, membership, age, cultural appeal, or gender, including those whose application may have been unsuccessful previously.”

Now in its fourth year, the annual initiative has already seen funding of €385,000 distributed to clubs across the 26 counties, of which €15,000 has come to County Kilkenny with successful applicants Kilkenny Hockey Club (2021), Marble City Boxing Club (2022) and Piltown AFC Football Club (2023) receiving €5,000 in each case.
