Tyrone GAA and Tyrone Camogie are delighted to announce a new sponsorship agreement with Tyrone Credit Unions, which will see them become the proud sponsors of the underage League and Championship competitions in the county across football, hurling and camogie for the next three years.
The Tyrone Credit Unions collective, comprising of 17 Credit Unions across the county, brings together a partnership of like mind organisations that are aligned in their values of people helping people and is a positive step towards focusing on the physical and mental wellbeing of our youth.
Tyrone GAA, Chairperson Martin Sludden commented, “Credit Unions have a long-standing tradition of investing in grassroots initiatives, and their support will play an important role in the continued development of underage Gaelic games in Tyrone. We thank them for their support and look forward to growing this partnership in the years ahead.”
Chairperson of Tyrone Camogie, Julie Lagan added, “I want to thank Tyrone Credit Unions for their commitment to investing in our next generation of players and volunteers. Their support of our underage competitions will have a positive impact on young players across the county and help ensure that our games continue to thrive at grassroots level.”
A spokesperson speaking on behalf of Tyrone Credit Unions welcomed the new partnership, “Supporting local is the very essence of what we do and this partnership with Tyrone GAA and Tyrone Camogie enables Tyrone Credit Unions to give back even more to the communities we serve, and to promote sports in our communities. It ensures that local talent is nurtured and given the opportunity to flourish.
Investing in our youth is investing in our future. This sponsorship will enable us to inspire young athletes to achieve their full potential both on and off the field and we are proud to play a role in nurturing the next generation of players who will be the next generation of Credit Union members and advocates”.
The 2026 season will get underway on Saturday 21 February with the Tyrone Credit Unions Under 14 Football League, with the first camogie action of the year beginning later in March.
