Name change for Park
THE MAIN county ground will have a new title going forward, as Chadwicks last week signed a long-term agreement with Wexford G.A.A. for the naming rights for what will now be known as Chadwicks Wexford Park.
This announcement builds on Chadwicks’ existing investment into Gaelic games through their sponsorship of the Leinster club hurling league which sees over 70 teams from around the province compete across Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels.
The company is Ireland’s leading supplier of building materials, bathrooms, heating products, and home and garden products.
Patrick Atkinson, Chadwicks Group Chief Executive Officer, said: ‘We’re delighted to partner with Wexford GAA and to play a supporting role in the development of Gaelic games across the county through our naming rights partnership with Chadwicks Wexford Park.
‘I look forward to a long and successful partnership with Wexford GAA as both organisations look to grow and deliver excellence to the people of Wexford,’ he added.
Derek Kent, Chairman of Wexford County Board, commented: ‘Wexford GAA are delighted to launch this new partnership with Chadwicks as the official naming rights partner of Wexford Park. Wexford GAA has a bright future with excellent work being done at under-age in our schools and clubs.
‘We’d like to thank our outgoing sponsor, Innovate, for their support since 2014 and we are excited to have Chadwicks with us on the next phase of our journey which will see further investment in our games and infrastructure. We look forward to welcoming all supporters to Chadwicks Wexford Park in the near future.’
In 2019, Chadwicks provided over €20,000 worth of building materials and supplies for clubs across Leinster to help improve club facilities through the Chadwicks Kit Out competition.
Plans are in place for this initiative to be expanded in 2020.
Chadwicks Wexford Park will play host to seven Allianz League games between February 1 and March 22, as follows: February 1, football v. Carlow, 2 p.m.; February 2, hurling v. Clare, 2 p.m.; February 16, hurling v. Kilkenny, 2 p.m.; February 23, football v. London, 12 noon; February 29, football v. Sligo, 2 p.m.; March 1, hurling v. Carlow, 2 p.m.; March 22, football v.
