GAA by sponsoring this year’s adult Gaelic football championships – Senior, Intermediate and Junior. Part of the Aurivo group, Homeland have 34 retail stores located in the west and north-west of Ireland – nine of these stores are in Sligo town and county – and provide a full range of products for the agri, garden, hardware, homeware and pet customer. Connacht Gold is the iconic consumer brand of the Aurivo Group that stands for products made with wholesome ingredients and honest hard work.

Homeland sponsor the Sligo Senior Football Championship, which features 10 clubs, with Connacht Gold sponsoring the county’s Intermediate Football Championship (10 teams) and Junior Football Championship.

The Junior Football

Championship includes 24 teams, eight of which compete in the ‘A’ competition and the remaining 16 are in the ‘B’ grade.

Sligo GAA chairman Seán Carroll is delighted that Homeland and Connacht Gold are on board for another season of the inter-club championships.

He said: “We are proud to have an association with two great local brands that compete so strongly at a national level and are deserved leaders in this region – exactly the type of profile that we want for Sligo GAA.”

“There’s great excitement and expectation among our clubs as the championships commence and the support of Homeland and Connacht Gold is much appreciated.” He added: “Both our organisations are rooted in communities, sharing many similar values, and we at

Sligo GAA wish Homeland and Connacht Gold every success as we emerge from the pandemic.” Caroline Millar, Brand Development and Marketing Manager at Aurivo Agribusiness, said: “We are really pleased to support Sligo GAA for a second year as sponsors of the Homeland Senior Football Championship and the Connacht Gold

Intermediate and Junior Football Championships.”

“We are looking forward to some good competitions and to getting further back to normality in the months ahead. With nine Homeland stores located throughout County Sligo we have many players and supporters among our customers and we will be cheering them all on as they go head-to-head in the championships.”

Seamus Hannon, National

Account Manager at Aurivo Consumer Foods, echoed Millar’s comments.

He said: “Aurivo are delighted to continue our support of Sligo GAA through our sponsorship agreement of the Senior, Intermediate and Junior Football Championships.” “This partnership fits perfectly with our business which is very much at the centre of the community where we operate. We wish all clubs the best of the luck in these championships.”
