Kilkenny’s hurlers have extended their sponsorship deal with Glanbia for another three years. As in the past, the sponsorship will include Kilkenny’s Senior, Intermediate, Under-21 and Minor hurling teams with the Kilkenny jersey carrying the Avonmore milk logo and the sponsorship continues to be performance bonus related. Speaking on behalf of the Kilkenny County Board, Chairman Paul Kinsella said: “With the costs now involved in running County teams, it would be impossible for Kilkenny to prepare teams without the continued support and generous sponsorship of Glanbia. I thank them for their very generous support in the past and I am delighted to have them on board again as sponsors and look forward to our continued association with them over the next three years.” Speaking on behalf of the players and management, Kilkenny manager, Brian Cody said: “The players and management very much appreciate the generous sponsorship and support we get from Glanbia and I also want to thank them for providing our players with a range of products over the season which play an important part in our hurlers diet.  We will do all in our power to reward them.”
