Sponsor For A Day Shortlist Announced

Bank of Ireland and Munster Rugby are delighted to announce the five shortlisted companies for this season’s ‘Sponsor for a Day’ competition. Each company is now one step closer to sponsoring Munster for January’s European Champions Cup clash against Stade Francais at Thomond Park.

Valued at €;50,000, one lucky company will receive the following – their company logo on the front of the players’ jerseys, pitch signage, corporate hospitality for ten guests; match programme advert, photographs with the team, promotion for the winning businesses from Bank of Ireland, Munster Rugby and RTE Radio One on the Ray D’Arcy Show.

The panel of judges who selected the shortlisted companies included Declan Galvin, Head of Small Business at Bank of Ireland and Muster squad captain Peter O’Mahony.

The five shortlisted companies are:

  • RollerJam Roller Skate Rinks – Cork & Limerick
  • Skelligs Chocolate – Ballingskelligs, Kerry
  • Roche’s Feed – Limerick
  • O’Neill Oil – Youghal, Co. Cork
  • CelgenTek Limited – Shannon, Co. Clare

Commenting on the competition, Declan Galvin said, “The calibre of companies that entered the competition was very strong again this year. The shortlisted companies are examples of the hard working businesses operating throughout Munster. The competition is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to increase their brand awareness by having their company logo on the jersey of a high profile team such as Munster for a European Champions Cup match. Previous winners have told us that winning our ‘Sponsor for a Day’ competition has had a hugely positive impact on their business and greatly helped increase the profile of their companies.

“As Ireland’s No.1 business bank we are committed to supporting Ireland’s SMEs, to help them increase and grow their businesses. ‘’Sponsor for a Day’ is an ideal way to do this as it gives businesses the opportunity to have their company name on the players’ jersey and on pitch signage for a match that is broadcast live to international audiences. I wish all the shortlisted companies the very best of luck and I encourage everyone to get involved and vote for their chosen company to sponsor their rugby team”.
