FUTURE PROOF

“We the Officers of the Imokilly Board are delighted to partner with Amarenco who have committed to Sponsoring the Hurling and Football leagues in East Cork,” says Imokilly Chairperson Avril Geary.

“We feel Amarenco is the perfect fit for Imokilly, the company invests heavily in the production of green energy that ultimately will benefit future generations and all our communities.

The GAA is rooted in every community in Ireland and our job is to ensure that this very important part of our culture is passed on to future generations. Never are we more mindful of this as we are in 2024, the Centenary year of the Imokilly Division.

“But for the vision of the great administrators that went before us, we wouldn’t be here today.

Amarenco are no strangers to GAA they have been very generously supporting the Castlemartyr Club over the last number of years and the name is synonymous with Castlemartyr at this stage.

“We are very grateful to John Mullins for recognising the need to secure sponsorship.

“John is a familiar face at GAA games throughout the division, county and indeed Páirc Uí Chaoimh, he is also member of The One Cork Committee whose ambition is to establish Cork GAA as one of the country’s premier sporting organisations and there is no doubt about his passion and commitment to our games.”
