“As a Senior footballer in the club, it is really exciting to see the announcement of this sponsorship deal between the club and Beacon Hospital. I think it’s a great partnership, given Beacon Hospital’s focus on overall health and wellbeing which is very much aligned with the goals and aspirations of our club.  Beacon Hospital were great supporters of our senior footballers in our recent All Ireland Club campaign, and I am delighted to see this now progress into a more longer-term formal partnership.”
